kingbob Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I have a currently working 10.4.1 system running, and I'm trying to update to 10.4.3. I installed 10.4.1 from the DVD, but when I load the 10.4.3 8F1111 DVD in verbose mode, it tells me that it's "Still waiting for root device" over and over. I've tried "rd=disk0s1", changing my USB to 1.1, and putting my drive as the only drive on the primary IDE port. What else can I do? Am I doomed?

eismusik Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 did you apply any patches? the DVD off... **cough** torrent **cough** is a straight developer DVD without patches for generic hardware. 10.4.1 installer DVD usually has generic patches pre-applied.

kingbob Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 I just converted the DMG to ISO via the terminal hdiutil and then patched it with JaS' latest patch, and still no luck. I'm starting to think there isn't much luck...I had this problem with 8f1099.

Make sure your MD5 on the ISO is correct (yes, time consuming but that is the first thing to check when it's not working). Got a working compatible machine with x1111? Try image that over to your mysterious, problematic setup.
