Worx...but with some bad news
Hey guys,
So I completed my testing and it went great. I had the ISO image of the distro written to a spare HD, installed to a test partition and everything worked out beautifully. So then I decided to write the ISO to a blank DVD and guess what..."Still waiting for root device"  I'm confident that it is a problem with insufficient SATA drivers because the DVD drive I installed from is SATA. I will consult with bhast2 later today and see what he can do about the matter. It should be a relatively minor problem because the installer boots fine from hard drive. P.S. And I hate to wreck the hope of some people for a fast release, but this beta will go only to a select number of people. I can't afford to lose time on a messed up release or on a public beta. After that I will do another beta (again to a select number of testers) after the Voodoo 9.5 kernel is released so that it will feature 10.5.5. After that THEN I will do a public release. I know some are probably groaning right now but its for the better. I don't like to let things lose without a proper testing.  ~pcwiz Last edited by pcwiz; 10-15-2008 at 12:30 AM.

Just include the AppleNforceATA that is included in so many other releases in to the booting extensions. This should allow the SATA DVD drive to read. re-kextcache from the Extensions for the mkext (or don't include a working mkext... like so many other distros).

naquaada,
Do you want me to upload the packages so you can check it yourself? nfoav8or, I have ICH9 SATA and I can certainly add that kext, but do you think adding an nForce kext will solve the ICH9 sata problem? I'm ignorant of the ways of the nForce :P Note to InfiniteMac staff: I know you guys mean well but some people from InfiniteMac have been coming to my site and posting links in the comments to InfiniteMac forum. I usually don't mind but when someone posted in the one and only iPC OSx86 blog to come discuss it at the infinitemac forum that struck me as pretty weird. So I know you guys mean really well and I would love partnership between PCWiz Computer and infinitemac but try not to post links on pcwizcomputer.com too too much, if that makes any sense :P Thanks!!

haha... sorry... didn't realize you were working with a different chipset for your board... didn't read it too well; just applied my own approach for my board. ok.
can you show a few screenshots of what your system profiler looks like when you are in Software>Extensions when using your everyday hacintosh? Then we can see what extensions are needed by your system... (or use kextstat in Terminal) Also, to add to what you are saying about your website for others to read... <stepping onto soapbox> Don't go around advertising this site to the extreme that you blatantly step on other people's feet in the process. Yes we love to have new people come here and learn how to do this for their own system. We want people to get excited about the possibility of using OS X on a PC (esp AMD in our case). Just don't do it by being disrespectful. I know I use PCWiz's site and forum. He has an awesome site that I recommend you look at his link (without a link) above. Great advice and great software. Just be aware of who's site you are at and show respect. 'nough said. <stepping down from soapbox> Last edited by nfoav8or; 10-15-2008 at 06:13 AM. Reason: had to add some <soapbox>

nfoav8or,
I'll get the kextstat output and post it up here, thanks for the tip naquaada, Hold on a sec while I boot back into my OS X install and I will upload the 71c2 and x1600 package in a zip and pm you the link.

NICE!... it could just be that the mkext wasn't properly created. Oh well now right!
