For example, a DMG image on the Mac OS X install disks created with the DiskUtility in Mac OS X itself will generate this message if you try to boot PearPC with it. From various websites and some created with on a linux box. I run pearpc with my config file and I get 'Still waiting for root device' over and over. Still waiting for root device Still waiting for root device Still waiting for root device.forever and ever amen! That was NOT fun to type! Can anyone translate and decipher from that what might be wrong? Ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4) airport card. But when you turn it off and on again, it freezes in the holy 'Still waiting for root device'. My solution was, start OSX with the -v -x flags, for my surprise it recognize the SATA disk and start in safe mode. Then i went to Terminal, entered as root and typed the following.(extracted from 'AppleVIAATA.kext' Method).
Hello Everybody!!! I need help with Installing Hackintosh on my notebook. In the video you can see the error message (BY THE WAY SORRY FOR THE BAD QUALITY). 'Still waiting for root device' If the output from verbose mode specifically stops at a line saying 'Still waiting for root device', you probably have a hard drive or USB drive issue. This may happen if your motherboard's BIOS or UEFI isn't set to AHCI mode; double-check this, just in case your BIOS/UEFI was accidentally reset recently. Free ftp server for macbook.
