Empire EFI - Still Waiting for Root Device
I have tried every living thing to get Empire EFI to boot on my pc. (well, probably not, or it would be working, xD)
I own Leopard 10.5.4 and Snow Leopard 10.6 retail discs and I keep getting an error message. I can boot Empire EFI but But I get error message "Still Waiting for Root Device" in a loop. Im using the latest version of Empire EFI - Chameleon v2.0-RC4 Hardware specs. I have NO additional kexts or anything for the hardware, as im a Mac Nooby and do not really comprehend the whole system (terminal and all) Intel DG35EC - From what I have read, this is a VERY good board for installing OS X Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0 Ghz 2x Kingston DDR2 667 MHZ 1024mb sticks 500 GB Seagate SATA HDD - Would it make a difference for it to be plugged in Sata 1 or sata 0 on the mobo? Memorex DVD/CD drive - IS IDE. i do not know if this is my problem or not. PNY GTS 250 Graphics card 1024mb ddr3 Random PCI networking card. some linksys one. I currently have Windows 7 32bit installed but left 200 gb on a seperate partition for my Mac Install. I dont have a camera, and the macbook pro one im on currently has a damaged webcam, so I typed the code by hand. This is the error message that comes up. Im not sure if its actually verbose or not, but i hit f8 and -v and -f for a possible intel driver find! no luck... First, I get an ACPI Table not found: DSDT.am1 and then it moves to Start Darwin x86 (which i thought wierd considering next screen says x64) press any key to continue. . . npvhash=4090 PAE enabled 64 bit mode enabled Darwin Kernel Version 10.2.0: Tue Nov 3 10:37:10 PST 2009; root:xnu-1486.2.11~1/RELEASE_I386 vm_page_bootstrap; 508162 free pages and 16126 wired pages standard timeslicing quantum is 10000 us mig_table_max_displ = 73 NullCPUPowerManagement::init: properties=0x4fc1840 NullCPUPowerManagement::start AppleACPI: ProcessorId=1 LocalApicId=0 Enabled AppleACPI: ProcessorId=2 LocalApicId=1 Enabled AppleACPI: ProcessorId=3 LocalApicId=130 Disabled AppleACPI: ProcessorId=4 LocalApicId=131 Disabled calling mpo_policy_init for Quarantine Security policy loaded: Quarantine policy (Quarantine) calling mpo_policy_init for Sandbox Security policy loaded: Seatbelt sandbox policy (Sandbox) calling mpo_policy_init for TMSafetyNet Security policy loaded: Safety net for Time Machine (TMSafetyNet) Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 The Regents of the University of California.
