Voici comment réparer l'erreur "Still Waiting for Root Device" quand vous essayez d'installer OSX86:

Ces instructions peuvent ne pas fonctionner pour vous; Toutefois, je publi cette méthode car la solution peut éviter quelqu'un des heures de frustrations. Cette solution a été confirmée et elle fonctionne pour quelqu'un qui a installé leo4all v3 avec succès et qui a ensuite reçu l'erreur mentionnée ci-dessus lors du redémarrage de l'ordinateur. Dans ce cas-ci, la cause de l'erreur est due à l'incompatibilité ou des kexts incorrectes pour votre contrôleur ATA.

Étape Un
Démarrez l'ordinateur avec le DVD LeoV3 comme si vous alliez installer Mac OS X encore une fois.


Étape Deux
Sellectionez Terminal du menu Installer's Utility.

Étape Trois
Maintenant, nous allons copier tout les kexts ATA sur le disque dur à partir du DVD. Pour cela, entrez la commande suivante:
cp -pr /Volumes/Leo4allv3/System/Library/Extensions/*ATA* /Volumes/MacHD/System/Library/Extensions/.

NOTE*: Remplacez Leo4allv3 par le nom du DVD du vous utilisez pour installer Mac OS X and remplacez MacHD par le nom de votre partition ou volume où vous installez Mac OS X.

Étape 4
Maintenant, nous devons avoir la permission pour le kexts que nous avons copiés. Entrez les commandes :
chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/MacHD/System/Library/Extensions/*ATA*
chmod -R 755 /Volumes/MacHD/System/Library/Extensions/*ATA*

NOTE*: Remplacez MacHD par le nom de votre partition ou volume où vous installez Mac OS X.

Étape Cinq
Pour enlever le kextcache, entrez la commande:
rm -rf /Volumes/MacHD/System/Library/Extensions.*

Note* Remplacez MacHD par le nom de votre partition ou volume où vous installez Mac OS X.

Étape Six
Maintenant vous pouvez redémarrer votre ordinateur. Je recommande d’appuyer sur F8 pendant le démarrage initiale de Mac OS X and ensuite d’entrer -f comme une option de démarrage pour forcer le chargement des kexts.

-----
Il y a pleins de causes pour l’erreur "Still waiting for root device" alors n’assumez pas que ceci va définitivement régler votre problème. Toutefois, c’est une solution possible.

dear alls, i find a solution for that threat ,i can boot without that msg! i can describe what i made as follow: 1- restart your pc 2- press f8 while booting 3- you will find mac try booting and a boot: prompt in thier 4- you will find a phrase hd(x,y) for my pc it was hd(0,2) 5- so what does it mean? it mean your hard disk in slot 0 and your root part ion is in 2 order 6-so only you do to write the following cl in the boot rd=disk0s2 then enter rational, you will replace 0 and 2 as it will be shown in your booting thanks

This worked for me without issue. Now, OSX starts to boot but then stops at the grey screen with the spinning disc. The disc just spins and spins. I don't get any errors using -v, so I'm not sure what to check next. I've never used OSX before.

OMG! After spending a lot of time over spring break on this, your solution worked! I was ready to give up after a seemingly endless search on Google for an answer. THANK YOU!!!

ok the iphone is grate and so if apple.you cant not say they are givnig a lot of support and updates to your phone ..if they never made the iphone the phones of today would be a lot worse. because the iphone stared phones off to a new era!!!!apple shouldn't keep stopping the jailbreaks tho i do see why they wouldn't want jail-breaking to happen!!!what they need to do is find out why people jailbreak and update there firmware so that there would be no point in jail-breaking!!!! or join with cydia rather than fight it and make a contract with it!!!! simple!and dont worry there will be an untethered jailbreak coming soon .

Worked to solve my "Still Waiting For Root Device" error! Other errors preventing me for booting though... Also if your HD is named "Macintosh HD" Enter it in the command line as "Macintosh\ HD"

Did all the above but still "waiting for root device" ARGH so close. I thought I was on a winner. Any thoughts?

Instead of booting with F8 and -f... after you are done putting the kexts in place and changing permissions, just do a 'touch /System/Library/Extensions'. This updates the time/date of the extensions folder, which forces the system to update the kexts caches when it next boots.

Worked for me, thanks.

The 4th step should work as every other step did.. copy the command into a Notepad / textedit to make sure that you leave spaces as required.. chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/MacHD/System/Library/Extensions/*ATA* chmod -R 755 /Volumes/MacHD/System/Library/Extensions/*ATA* I am doing everytime my computer shuts down and it works every time.. if it works, it will not provide any usage message or anything.. it will show you the prompt to type the next command. Make sure that you replace the MacHD with the name of your partition too..
