Still waiting for Root Device

[kaktony]

Hey All , I have a Dual Boot (Windows + Mac EL Capitan) dell laptop 3542 i7, i use to have a Patched DSDT , Boot args for booting into my mac partition. Recently by mistake i updated the Dell BIOS version, which caused a problem into Booting so i downgraded it again and i reinstalled Windows 10 in windows partition.

But from then i am unable to boot into mac from my usual DSDT and Boot args. I am getting a blurred error "still waiting for root device" while booting into mac.

I have already downgraded the BIOS to its old version. I think there is problem with the DSDT and the config.plist.

I am attaching my EFI folder which has all DSDT and SSDT in "origin" folder . It also has the Config.plist file.

Please help me out friends as i don't have the access to mac i can't patch according to the latest DSDT as well as according to the new disks partitions.

Please Please help me out !!
Thanks

what happens when you boot using your usb installer?

From USB installer i use the same EFI folder as i have in my EFI Partition. I don't have access to my mac.

maybe try with sata-unsupported.kext

Where i can find this kext ?

And do i need to keep other kexts as well as do i need to change Config.plist as i dont have access to clover configurator i can't do so.

Is it related to the disk partition size changes because i reinstalled windows in a partition but never changed anything towards mac partition.

May you please look the EFI partition attached and check in the kexts and config also the ACPI origin.

as you have a Dell laptop (you need to update your hardware profile with make and model before your next post please)

you should be enabling this in your config.plist:

<key>DellSMBIOSPatch</key>
        <false/>

how long does it stay on that screen for?
