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?

Is lan not detected or only wrong configured?

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.

I got around this by adding -f to my startup options. I've now added it permanently to the com.apple.boot.plist
