BTW, I have a theory that putting "14C" in driver will let it work with any 10.10.2, as the Beta one did.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah I omitted the 1 but even if I repaired all the permissions I kept getting signiture errors that I couldn't fix... So much for manually editing the Info.plist.
I eventually resorted to the method of expanding the webdriver package and editing the Distribution file like with this method.

It is a reboot indeed.. Have a look at the clip:https://vimeo.com/123070856

You have to use kext-dev-mode=1. That will allow it to load even with the signature errors.

I installed without issues (with Apple 8800gt).

This has probably been said, but a good practice is to keep a bootable clone of your working system on a spare hard drive, especially since Time Machine doesn't allow us to restore a complete Yosemite install to a 1,1/2,1 Mac Pro. SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner are great tools for this, and also allow you to boot into the spare drive if you need to troubleshoot after an update/upgrade gone wrong.
Yes it is safe but if your GPU requires the NVIDIA web driver make sure you are running the latest version.
It's, indeed, a double boot in your case. That doesn't happen to me. I thought you were describing the brief disappearance of the logo and the progress bar (a couple of seconds or so).
My 2,1 does this double-tap too. But only since I switched to an SSD RAID pair as my boot drive. Crucial 250GB BX100 model, one in bay 1 and the other in the optical bay running off one of the extra SATA connectors on the logic board. no clue as to why here.
Mine is on the optical Bay too... Maybe that's the clue... I'll try to move it on one of the main bays and see if the situation changes.
I would second this. With the STRONG suggestion that you also keep a 10.7.5 install on a small partition or spare drive. It is SO cheap to get an old 10-100 GB drive and keep a simple OS install from which to boot and do fixes.
I read these threads where someone only has a lone OSX install and when it crashes they are left helpless and spend days recreating. When all it should take is holding option and booting from an alternate install to fix.
Recovery partition is nice but not same thing.

LOL! Just as I was thinking, "Huh, a Lion install?" one of the drives died in my 1,1 and I forgot to patch the graphics kexts in the backup, so now I have an unbootable machine.
To the spare disk stack! What a better way to illustrate this point.

Not trying to sound like an idiot or be too noobish! But is there anyway I can upgrade my current lion, without doing a clean install!
Only reason I ask is because I have a 4TB hard drive with over half a TB of Data and it would take some time to migrate all that data! If I can just upgrade from lion using Pikes pre-patched Yosmite installer, it would make everything so much easier!

Sure. That's what I did when I was upgrading. Just install Yosemite over top of your Lion install. Just, please, please, make sure you have a recovery or a spare disk. Clone your Lion install, create a fresh one, whatever you have to do to back up your files just in case the upgrade goes wrong.
Awesome! Is the easiest way to create a backup TimeMachine or is there an easier way! How would you recommend cloning the Current Lion setup?? Or what method did you use to clone your's??
I posted a bit ago with some recommendations. I would STRONGLY recommend using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to make a BOOTABLE install on a spare hard drive. Time Machine does NOT allow for a full system restore of Yosemite on a 1,1/2,1 Mac Pro.
Almost there....
Hi all,
Thank you for the instructions and information to boot Yosemite on my Mac Pro (1,1). I followed a similar set of instructions for Mavericks, and it worked well.
For Yosemite, however, the process didn't work so well. My install disk is an external FireWire disk (used the same one to install Mavericks). The external disk boots, and I get all the way to the 'Installing- 22 minutes remaining' screen. Then- nothing. It hangs, and eventually just boots to my eDrive partition.
I'm installing the latest version of Yosemite- 10.10.2.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
John

I would suggest that you post what EXACTLY you did to create installer.
Or we could guess.....
Good point. This is what I did:
