it might be that your motherboard chipset isn't supported by the Distro. give me your Motherboard Model and i will submit a solution for it.. if it's AMD SB700 Chipset then your ready for the fullest help from me...

Try these booting options by pressing F8 during Darwin OSx86 Boot Timer

busratio=20 cpus=1 fsb=133 config= live.plist

-f -v
-x -v
Platform=X86PC -v
Platform=ACPI -v
-v busratio=20 cpus=1

Try these booting options.. maybe you can success by this things..

Boot arguments normally dont help for "still waiting for root device". It just means your SATA or IDE controller where the DVD drive is connected to is not supported by the distro.
You would need to find out which controller you have and then look out for a distro that supports it.
