Hi to all and expecially to the guys that are working so hard to get us enjoying the Hackintosh computing. I installed the 10.5.2 but after the installation (repeated 2 times since the "about a minute" stop) the pc boots and then goes in…

“[cite] hackintosh4life:okay, well sorry Men I have all the testers I need, im fixing up some little issues then ill release it just experimenting with this feature - Wyatt M. ..ok that's right. I've tried at least. Keep up the work, we're a…”

“great work. I've an ATI Radeon Xpress 1100M card on an Acer 5101 laptop, and i'd be very happy to test it. actually running on Zeph. 10.5.1 Rev.1 my email address is dad2i-at-yahoo.com”

“Thanks a lot Eddie, i owe you a dinner.. i tried to go in -s user mode but it didn't work. it stopped booting before loading the bash i tried then to use the installation dvd terminal and to execute your instructions. I found three Extensio…”

“thanks again, i've always tried to solve the problems alone, but with the help of got the file and installed it. Meanwhile i've also tried with AppleOnboardPCATA.kext. each and both files give the same result: I booted with -f -v all the ve…”

“thanks Eddie11c! I had done it with macdrive, no panic anymore ..but now the problem is a message "still waiting for root device". I'm looking for a solution on forums.. any suggestion?”
