I cant see an Extensions.mkext on CD, and the one on the HDD does not contain -

Just noticed -

IOATAFamily is also installed, as well as AppleNForceATA.

Would that matter?

Also just noticed, while trying again to boot to HDD, this message.

'Cant load kext com.nvidia.driver.AppleNForceATA - link failed' etc

??

Looks like a bad kext. Did you extract it from the boot CD?

This kext must be installed in /S/L/E, not in /E/E.

Shall i extract and install ALL kexts from the CD, or just the AppleNForceATA one?

AppleNForceATA should be enough to avoid the "still waiting for root device" problem, and nForceLAN to have your ethernet card working.

Extensions.mkext in the CD is inside Preboot.dmg.

I have successfully extracted and installed the AppleNForceATA kext from the CD to S/L/E, but still get error.

Could it be that it is IDE Primary Master?

If it works booting from CD it should work from HD too.

Did you choose the correct architecture when unpacking the kexts?

Try installing IOATAFamily from CD as well.

When trying x86_64 :- 'Architecture x86_64 not found in mkext'

but it works fine in i836.


Note: a message appears in -x -v mode saying 'only com.apple.kpi. * dependencies are supported for 64 bit kexts....

Try booting with "arch=i386 -v".
