DoNotIron Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hello, i want to install Mavericks on a (real) MP1.1 with Lion 10.7.5, but installer isnt starting. -Mavericks is downloaded from appstore -i created a bootable installation usb drive, link: http://www.tips-and-tricks-in-mavericks.com/how-to-create-an-os-x-mavericks-install-drive/ -replaced the boot.efi in folders "System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi" and "usr/standalone/i386/boot.efi" -modified OSInstall.mpkg with Flat Package Editor: "Distribution" file -modified "InstallableMachine.plist", inserted board-ID of Mac Pro 1.1/2.1 When booting from usb drive, i stuck after a while with blackscreen with white message "waiting for root device". I guess a kext is missing? The MP is original, except a nvidia videocard 8800GT flashed with mac rom (grey bootscreen works). Any ideas? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300725-mavericks-1094-on-a-mac-pro-11/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 What is your CPU? Remember, the Mavericks is totally 64bits. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300725-mavericks-1094-on-a-mac-pro-11/#findComment-2058300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotIron Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 It has 2 Xeon X5355 quads. I updated the firmware, so its a MP2.1. I'm sure that its possible to install 10.8 or 10.9 on MP1.1/2.1 without chameleon-bootloader. The MP is also 64bit, only EFI is 32bit; when replacing the original boot.efi it should work.

You should not use Hackintosh tools in a real Mac. http://www.macworld.com/article/1167857/how_to_make_a_bootable_mountain_lion_install_drive.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300725-mavericks-1094-on-a-mac-pro-11/#findComment-2058617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotIron Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 No, i want to avoid using hackintosh-bootloaders. It is possible to install with few changes (see first posting), but i'm stuck before mavericks-setup. I tried another usb drive, but same problem.

jamiethemorris Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Do you have any SATA or RAID cards installed? If so you should try removing them temporarily for the install. Also it's possible that your firmware it doesn't like your particular USB drive.

blacksheep Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 If you're having troubles with doing it manually, there's an app called SFOTT. It automates 10.8 and 10.9 install thumb drive creation. You only need to use its settings menu first to patch the installer with your MP board and model IDs. You can even partition your thumb drive with MBR and it will work. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300725-mavericks-1094-on-a-mac-pro-11/#findComment-2060803 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excel233 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The answer has been given. Use SFOTT (SixtyForOnThirtyTwo) shell to create a bootable/installable OsXMavericks drive. it just replaces some args and add a wonderful 64->32b live conversion Kernel. It works very well on mine with latest GTX cards. i can't overclock it anymore, but compared to this buggy 10.7 Lion, i'm happy.
