Hi everyone,
I'm having with my Hackintosh system on HP Probook 4540 and I'm hoping that the members of this forum would be able to help me out. I'm not very well-versed in the technical aspects behind these systems, but I was able to get the hackintosh up and running a while ago on my HP with a few hardware modifications (an increase in RAM and a WiFi card replacement). So please do excuse my ignorance in these matters.
Very recently, I think I may have installed a kext which could be causing a problem, and now my mac will not load. It gets stuck at the startup screen with a stop sign on it. In verbose mode, the error comes at the point "Still waiting for root device". I installed this almost a year ago and it loaded flawlessly without the USB till now. Nevertheless, I tried all sorts of commands at the bootloader screen, and even tried to load it in safe mode, but it won't get past this screen.
I googled this problem endlessly and tried all sorts of solutions which people proposed for the last week, but it seems as though its a lost cause. I don't even care about my data on the hard drive at this point because I just want this to be up and running the way it was. I had Mavericks 10.9.4 running on it.
Can somebody please help me out? I'm really clueless about what to do at this point. I'm even willing to do a whole new installation but I don't know how to do it on this system with this error. Any help will be much appreciated.
