Mar 28, 2017 Still waiting for root device mean is that the source of booting macOS is not detected properly. In simple term, the operating system was not able to locate a driver/kext for your Hard Disk/DVD Drive/USB. When this error occur? Serious sam 2 for mac. This is the common error that appears before installing Mac OS X or After a Successful installation of Hackintosh. 'Still waiting for root device'. When booting from USB means that there is a problem finding a valid System folder to start up from on your USB flash drive. This is usually because the flash drive is in a USB3 port. If this is the case move it to a USB2 port, if it is already in a USB2 port move it to another and try again. Wait some time for the boot to complete; the system might either immediately start or stay frozen for several seconds in a state like the one shown in the following image before getting to the UI; after a minute, if it shows no progress or if the console shows Still waiting for root device., try.
