Minotour Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Sorry if this has being posted before, but i seem to be facing a problem when i try to boot from my iATKOS v1.0i pressing enter on countdown brings me to the grey apple logo and after a while it shows a X in a box on the Apple logo, i tried using -v mode but it stops and hangs at ''still waiting for root device'' my computer matchs the requirements to install any ideas?

insomnimac Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 What are your system specs? Most probbaly an incompatiblilty with your IDE dvd drive or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minotour Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 No idea i've tried everything, unplugged my SATA hard drive, no good, unplugged my IDE hard drive no good, unplugged them both! and still said waiting for ''root device'' and i was unable to locate the AHCI options for my dvd-drive only my HDD fiddled with those but made zero difference, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
