Dossier Title & SummaryCollectionReadership
no PATA or SATA for iPC on nForce 630i MoBo
Short version: It seems clear that I do not have the correct kext or kernel or driver for either PATA or SATA for my nForce 630i MoBo. I have a drive that boots OSx86 when connected via USB, but only gives “Still waiting for Root device”…

no PATA or SATA for iPC on nForce 630i MoBo
“In the end, I never did get iPC to work, but I tried iATKOS v7 instead and it installed perfectly on the first try. Now, I am able to boot my iATKOS installation directly from my internal IDE HDD.”
