    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    Thanks for all the help guys! Unfortunately, the stuff y'all suggested did not help. Gigamaxx, I tried both boot arguments you suggested, neither made any difference. cmn699, I did not try the full set of instructions you provided, but I did change my Default Boot Volume to the partition UUID...

    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    Well, I've tried going both ways. I've tried on one Sierra install with only the UEFI quick start, thinking that maybe all the other stuff I was installing might be the cause of my problem, and I've tried on a separate Sierra install with a bunch of Multibeast installations all at once. For my...

    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    I've fixed the images, sorry about that! I edited my original post above to have the upright images. I have another mac I can try booting the SATA drive from. What exactly would I be trying to do? I believe FakeSMC is a part of the quick start UEFI by default, so it should have been installed...

    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    Thanks for your input cmn699. I guess I just thought I was doing something simple wrong, so I didn't know that I'd need such detailed information. I'll try to give a summary of what I've done as thoroughly as possible. I downloaded the most recent Sierra install application from the App Store...

    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    Ok, so I did a reinstall, and I tried doing a few things differently. I followed the same procedure I described in my first post, up until running multibeast. This time, when I ran multibeast, I did more than just the quick start for UEFI. I did the quickstart UEFI, plus 200 series audio, intel...

    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    The config.plist I uploaded is exactly what multibeast created automatically when I used quick start for UEFI installations. When I was attempting to boot into single user mode, I simply enabled -s and any other options Gigamaxx mentioned by hitting the space bar with my Sierra install selected...

    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    Now I am back to my original problem. Exactly the same as before, I end up at the prohibited symbol with "Still waiting for root device" as the last line on the verbose output.

    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    Now when I attempt to boot, it tells me "This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform!" I assume this is due to elements of the SMBIOS section in the config.plist file that you provided? What should I try next?

    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    Yes. Yes. Look below for an explanation. Yes, that is the message, no it does not happen right away. When I select my Sierra install from CBM with verbose mode enabled, it scrolls a bunch of log messages, and seems to be doing early boot process stuff, but then after a second or two it stops...

    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    I understand what Gigamaxx was telling me to do. The issue is that I cannot do it. How do I run fsck when I am unable to boot into single user mode?

    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    Thanks for your reply Gigamaxx. Unfortunately, the exact same problem occurs even with all of the options you specified enabled. I never get to the command prompt. I still see the prohibited symbol and the text "Still waiting for root device." This is all after unplugged the USB drive and...

    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    What's odd is that the issue also occurs now when I boot to the Clover bootloader on the flash drive, and then boot the Sierra OS on the internal SATA drive from there. This worked fine before I did the quick start installs in multibeast. So, previously it would boot fine going Clover on USB ->...

    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    I do not think that the flash drive should have anything to do with it at this point. I am not utilizing the flash drive at all in the final step that is causing the "still waiting for root device" issue. I am booting to the Clover bootloader located on my internal SATA drive, and then...

    [Solved] Still waiting for root device

    Hi, I am trying to install Sierra on my recently built PC, and I'm running into problems. So far, this is what I have done: Adjust all BIOS settings to the recommended settings, except SATA mode, which I keep as Intel Rapid Storage Technology since I have a RAID array configured. Regardless...
