iBoot GE Error: Still waiting for root device

[davevegas]

Hey Guys,

So it's the following:

I had a perfecty running Snow Leopard system on my Asus P6T SE Motherboard until my old nvidia graphics card crashed (Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS).

So yesterday I bought a new one, the ZOTAC 480GTX (Fermi). I found out that it's compatible so I followed this guide ( http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/11/ ... -os-x.html ) to install the new Snow Leopard on my system.

I tried to boot with iBoot GE disk (which is okay) then I change the cd's and boot in verbose mode to see whats going on.

The problem is, that I get the "Still waiting for root device" error. I have no idea why since I set my SATA's to AHCI (JMicron controler is set to AHCI as well).

I tried everything I'm pretty desperate. I had a wonderful SL working on the exact same machine and now I get this stupid error.

Please help me, what can I do?

Dave


EDIT: My System:

Motherboard: Asus P6T Se
CPU: i7 920 @ 2.88 GHZ
RAM: 12GB CROSSAIR DDR3 1333
Graphic: ZOTAC 480 GTX

Solved!

How: I changed SATA to IDE COMPABILITY mode and JMicron to IDE.

Now it works but now I get a new Error: BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel_task

I attached a jpg.

What is causing this? I found out that it's maybe because of the DSDT. How do I change the DSDT in the iBoot ISO?

Help would be appreciated!

There is no DSDT in the iBoot ISO.

Thanks what else could be the problem?

We are in the same "sinking" boat. For me I am sure it's the DSTD because i tried to change something there..
