"Still waiting for root device".
When booting from USB means that there is a problem finding a valid System folder to start up from on your USB flash drive.
This is usually because the flash drive is in a USB3 port.
If this is the case move it to a USB2 port, if it is already in a USB2 port move it to another and try again.
Repeat until you have tried all USB ports.
Use a USB2 flash drive.
If it still doesn't work you could try another flash drive.
Try connecting your USB flash drive using a USB2 hub.
You might also try enabling Legacy on your USB3 ports in your BIOS settings.
Set XHCI Handoff to Enabled in your BIOS settings.
Ensure that Fast Boot is not enabled in your BIOS settings.
May require USBInjectAll.kext in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/.
May require XHCI-unsupported.kext in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/. (Click download repository).
May require a USB Port Limit patch.
When booting from SATA it is usually the SATA controller driver / misconfigured BIOS / badly connected drive.
If it happens immediately after the Clover boot loader then it may be the CLOVER drivers.
Boot in verbose mode and post a picture of the screen when it stops.
