EggMasta Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hey guys. I have a hp dv5000 with an amd turion 64, ATI Radion Xpress200 and I am trying to install Kalyway 10.5.2. I only have one 80 gig IDE HD. It has one raw partition that I am trying to install the OS on. I keep getting the dreaded Waiting for root device no matter what I seem to try. Any advice? Oh yeah, and my dvd drive is an ATAPI IDE drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggMasta Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Ok I got another problem. I am trying to install it via VMware to a partition i created on my harddrive, then just change the MBR. The problem is once it gets past the POST stage, it stalls forever on a gray screen with a cursor and the drive stops spinning. Anyone got any ideas? localhost ReportCrash[55] mkdir() failed to create /Library/Logs with error: Read-only file system localhost DirectoryService[53]: Launched version 5.2 (v514.4) It hangs after those two lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
