GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 and Yosemite - Waiting For Root Device

[modsuperstar]

I recently updated my main drive from Mavericks to Yosemite and it's been giving me boot issues pretty much ever since. When I try a straight boot I get a still waiting for root device error. I have a GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 motherboard with the F11 bios. The only way I can reliably boot into my install is using the -f flag, which as I understand it just ignores other boot flags. I've tried using the default org.chameleon.boot.plist that Multibeast spit out, as well as adding flags from my previously functioning Mavericks setup. Can anyone shed some light on what might be going amiss? I've found a few different sites with older solutions to root device error issues, but couldn't find anything new pertaining to Yosemite and my board. A few of them suggested downloading and installing some kexts, but I didn't want to get into that before checking if I was missing something obvious.

Here is my org.chameleon.boot.plist

What have you installed with MultiBeast?

Make sure you using AHCI instead if IDE - that sometimes causes this to occur. Also check out http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/278075-about-still-waiting-for-root-device/ and http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/i...22Still_waiting_for_root_device.22_message.3F
