This happened to me on beta 1 when I activated TRIM, I had to do a reinstall. That is the route I would suggest for you.

Yeah, never run beta software without backing up your data.
Heck, even if you're running a stable OS you should be backing up your data. Never know when a drive will fail.

And given how easy to use Time Machine is, there's really no reason not to use it.

I wouldn't want to be picky, but the title of this thread and several comments by forum members are wrong. The second beta has NOT appeared yet, and neither has the first one. Apple announced the first (public) beta would appear in the summer. So far, two developer previews have appeared. Developer Previews (DPs) are just that, not betas.

"still waiting for root device"

Can you boot into the recovery partition?

I'm having the same issue, no boot after re-installing Trim Enabler (Cindori Fix). What is your suggestion how to repair the "still waiting for root device"? I don't have a recovery partition on this SSD RAID0 mounted on a PCIe card. Thanks in advance!

Do you have the recovery disk?

Do you have the recovery disk?

Thanks for your reply. I have one on my bootable Carbon Clone Copy external HDD.

For some reason I feel the need to point out these aren't betas, they are developer previews... I woundnt think of installing these on production machines that I would have to worry about even having backups of.
