The Dreaded "Still waiting for root device" error

[matthewjury]

Goddamnit. I spent hours and hours trying to get this thing to work. Anyways I am a windows user and I wanted to put El Capitan on my second SSD. So I use unibeast and get everything working, i plug it in and use the -v boot flag and i get this error along with a white stop sign. Believe me, I have tried EVERY bootflag you can think of, but I was thinking, I am using a usb3 thumb drive. Could this be the issue? Even if its going into a usb2 port?

Should I just try to boot yosemite with Chameleon since clover is giving me problems?

Have you got AHCI enabled in the bios? not IDE. Use a USB 2 port for the Pen drive. Your also using a 750Ti You will need to boot with nv_disable=1.

Yes I've tried all of those things.

Use Clover Configurator to Mount EFI Partition. Go to EFI/Clover/config.plist and attach it.

You need to use a Mac to use Unibeast. If you can't get to a Mac or don't know anyone without a Mac then use iBoot. iBoot Ivy Bridge 1.1.0
