## Automatic notice to thread opener:
If you post this kind of message into the News Category again, your Account will be disabled I'm using rev1 dvd and trying to install. But whenever I boot into the dvd, right after it detects firewire i get this message, I never get into the GUI part of the installation, all just boot screen messages. I've tried a few different things, tried reburning the iso, using slowest speeds possible w/two different programs and verifying the burn after each instance. I've rearranged my dvd drive to different combinations of slave/master on the ide cable. I've booted with -x option, same messages. Everything I do craps out at this message. I have an M2NPV-VM mobo (6150 geforce and nforce430 w/300gig sata and 120gig IDE which I'm trying to install this to) What's going on? |
Alright, I got this fixed. I disconnected my SATA drive and put my IDE drive as primary master instead of secondary master. I don't know which of those two did the trick. I installed Leopard on my first of two partitions with GUID then installed efi. Only problem is that I get HFS+ partition error on boot now. Is this because the partition isn't set as primary or active? How can I do so via the installation dvd?
|
Use MBR as partition table.
|
Yes, thanks naquaada, got it fixed a little bit after I posted. All works except for lan, and qe/ci.
|
Is lan not detected or only wrong configured?

Hi all i have a problem when trying to boot the install dvd i get the "still waiting for root device" error
my specs: asus A8N-E 6600GT 80GB SATA 15GB ide so that everything is clear: i get that error when trying to boot the install dvd not after i installed leo.. picture:http://filebeam.com/2c736870491b126f6fce5cdef058a9a9.jpg |
The reason I got that "still waiting for root device" is the way I had my IDE cables configured. I had to place the dvd drive on primary slave and the hard drive I was installing to on primary master. Then it was able to continue as always. Try doing it that way, kryss05, even if you're not installing to the ide hard drive and are installing to the sata. And the lan I got fixed, naquaada, only problem now is that everytime I download something, I get the you must shut down your computer now screen, and have to shut down everything.

:((
Some error...still waiting for root device...other idea some one ??? |
I got around this by adding -f to my startup options. I've now added it permanently to the com.apple.boot.plist
|
I try with option -f and sistem hangs and see message in picture!!! : http://filebeam.com/0dd242c68907c77788267b2569fc6e80.jpg

Uff...no one have idea? So plsss help me guys. Plssss, plsss .
|
i have the same problem while booting the Rev2Beta2...but no idea too! hope all those little problems get solved with the 10.5.2 update!
|
is your hdd a master?! this is very important. and yes, satas have master options too! not via jumper but via bios
|
i cant edit my Jumper Settings in BIOS :( and i dont know if its jumpered master BUT i think so because my DVD-Recorder is a ATA Drive. So theres no need for the HDD to be Slave
|
do you have a IDE or SATA?
|
@xisix
They aren't JUMPER settings... it depends on which SATA port you plug in to. SATA-0 is Master vs. SATA-1 being its slave... SATA-2 is another Master (on a separate controller), and SATA-3 is Slave. This isn't change-able in BIOS... this is a hard wire issue. where it is plugged in does matter. |
:))
I know is important to be a master HDD..SATA and of corse i put master, slave, etc a put one hdd IDE master and dvd slave ide master dvd secondary master...etc.. Some erorr..still waiting for root device..i think is version of osx.. I don't have rev 2 beta how to make posibile to download..Ideea plss!!! |
Im also getting the still waiting for root device
On x2 3600 DFI Lanparty ultra2-m2 Nforce4 2Gb Adata DDRII 800 250GB ATA Maxtor Leopard 250GB SATA Seagate Gentoo linux If anyone thinks its ata thats currently causing the problems let me know, i dont have the sata drive plugged in on boot or durring the install. I can mirror my Gentoo install over to my ATA drive with out any problems (LVM is love ;) ) as always all help is appreciated |
OK i feel noobish (im not) anyways i overlooked what drivers were installed so i selected the appropriate ones via the customize button. iI would imagine this is what some of us have done. Make sure you select the proper chipset drivers this would easily cause the os not to find the root device indicating it has no drivers for the ATA or SATA controller.
