Still waiting for root device

Recommended Posts

Hi all.

 

I created a bootable USB with myhack (Mountain Lion 10.8).

I start with -v

I get the error PCI Configuration Begin.

The result is the same with or without DSDT.

 

If I install the kexts:

 

*AppleACPIPlatform.kext

*IOPCIFamily.kext

 

fix the error, but appears Still waiting for root device.

 

In computer've managed to install Snow Leopard and Leon, without ever having that error.

 

Know you how I can fix it?

May be my DSDT is wrong?

 

My hardware:

 

Laptop ASUS N71JQ

ATI HD 5730 1Gb

Intel Core i7

USB 3

 

This is my dsl, one from dsdt editor and other from everest:

From the myhack guide:

 

Symptom: Booting from USB drive the boot process stops at ”EHCI unable to take control from BIOS”, “Still waiting for root device”, or anything else EHCI/UHCI related

 

Resolution: Boot with USBBusFix=Yes

 

Symptom: Booting internal drive the boot process stops at “Still waiting for root device”

 

Resolution: Ensure SATA devices are configured to run in AHCI mode in your system bios

 

If the USBBusFix=Yes does not help, try using different USB ports, if that fails try to create the installation disk on an internal disk partition rather than a usb.

USBBusFix donesn 't works for me.

I probe in all USB ports, including a USB 3 port.

Disabling Legacy USB in bios and booting from a e-sata port, identical result.

Booting from hard disc doesn't works. The same error always.

The BIOS is Ok, I have installed Snow and Lion before with the same config.

 

Need help ;)

 

Thanks
