Still Waiting for Root Device error on Leopard Pentium 4 hackintosh

Hi all, I’m having quite the frustrating predicament. First, I’ll outline my specs:

ShuttleX PC T62K Pentium 4 3.00GHz 1GB DDR RAM ATI Radeon 1900 iGPU PATA DVD Drive PATA HDD

I don’t know the chipset for the motherboard, perhaps someone could help me with that? Anyway

This was my first computer, and for nostalgic reasons, I’ve decided to make a Hackintosh out of it. I’ve tried iAtkos 5i 10.5.5 as well as Kalyway 10.5.2 distorts for this, as they have alternative kernels for my Pentium 4 CPU, as well as a myriad of useful drivers and such. My GPU works, my CPU works, ACPI, USB, FireWire, all of that, and I can boot into the DVD’s I burned for the 2 distros, but when I install it, I get this error.

Still waiting for root device

Thing’s I’ve tried: -f -x rd=disk0 rd=disk0s2 USBBusFix=Yes arch=32 arch=i386 -legacy Installing different PATA chipset kexts Installing SATA/IDE chipset kexts (my system doesn’t have SATA but it was worth a shot) Waiting it out Changing from Master to Slave and back

Nothing has worked so far. I don’t expect a lot of help, but anything you guys have done to help issues like this would be much appreciated
