IPC 10.5.6 "Still Waiting For Root Device"?
Hey, first off I wanta let you know that I have installed OSX86 on my computer before and I used Kalyway Leopard 10.5.2.
Now I'm trying to install IPC Leopard 10.5.6 onto my SATA hardrive. I booted in verbose mode and this is what I got: ![]() I've tryed everything on the stickyed thread accept the stuff that has to do with IDE drives because the whole point of installing IPC is because I want to get it onto my SATA hardrive. I read something about installing my chipset onto the Disk Image? If that is what I needa do then it would be great if someone could explain how to go about doing that.

Thank you soooooo much for the reply. I appreciate it.
The part that says Via OSX. Is that what you want me to type before I boot up or what? and if I use the second one then what kext do you want me to put inside of /system/library/extensions?

You do that from the terminal if you have access to another working install

so do you want me to put the iso onto OSX and do that and then after that put it back on windows and do the other step?
because if I go to the step with windows then Im guessing that you want me to find that folder inside the iso? but the iso does not have those folders in it? and I still don't know which kext your talking about??

Just do one or the other.
If you're doing it the windows way using you'll have to choose to show hidden files in Transmac to see the full folder structure. Sorry i didn't say, the applenforceata was an example - you'll have to replace that with the appropriate chipset kext for your hardware.
