I cannot get this to work for the life of me. I always get stuck on
"Still waiting for root device"
or
"DSMOS Has Arrived"
-x -v -f -s or any combination of those will always lead to one of those 2 errors.
I have tried different hard drives, different sata ports for the hard drives, only using 1 stick of ram, specifying the sata port for the drive like rd=disk0 etc etc. Ive tried regular ps2 and USB keyboards, Other bootloaders, endless adjustments to the bios settings, etc etc.
I have no idea where this is going wrong. People with my same exact board say it was a seamless install using unibeast. The instructions to install seem so simple. I have done 2 HP mini hackintosh installs, but never with Lion.
I have been using pretty excessively the unibeast install instructions. I have gone through it probably 15 times now, making sure I am doing it 100% perfect with the correct bios settings etc etc. After it fails, I start to tinker and try different things.
Ive tried older versions of chimera as well to no avail. From what I can tell it is something to do with my hard drive (root device) not being loaded in or recognized for some reason. If anyone can help me I would be MUCH appreciative. Anything will be something at this point.
I am using Unibeast with a 16gb USB drive and using the App store ver of Lion.
