- Sata DVD-RW DL drive -- Plugged in into SATA 3 Port
- 6 Gig DDR3
- Visiontek 4870 512MB Video Card
- USB Caddy with 80 GB HDD on it.
I also own a macbook pro to format the hdd and restore disk image to the 80GB HDD.
I tried the guide from this page: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=194312
but every time i tried installing, always stuck at Waiting for Root device (when i use -v cpus=1 busratio=20), if i just let it run, it stuck at the spinning wheel.
Any help ? maybe BIOS Settings ?
PS: I also tried booting using Empire EFI (latest version), and using myHack boot, but still never could get into the OSX Installation page.
Also, just to make sure, for the DSDT.aml, I can just copy and paste to the "restored OSX" and don't need special way to patch/install it.

In my experience, I haven't been able to boot from a usb docked hdd. You need to connect the hdd internally to the SATA port. As long as you have all the needed .kexts in the /Extra/Extensions folder, you should be able to boot. That is just my experience. You should also just use your MBP to install Snow Leopard to the usb hdd, then install the bootloader to the same drive along with the /Extra folder. After that connect it to a SATA port on the mobo and you should have no problems.
Hope this helps, Dil83
