While I completely and utterly fail to comprehend even the most minuscule thread of your logic (in the same manner that I have never understood those that opt to use a MLPF 10.8 system over a OS X 10.7 Lion system...a 32 bit system is a 32 bit system no matter how you slice it....no one will ever convince me of the alleged speed boost achieved in a MLPF system and in Lion your fully functional versus a MLPF system that is significantly hindered functionally) you know what...my opinion does not matter in the least. Your happy with it and it works for what you need it for and that is ALL that matters. :)

Thanks for understanding :)

If anyone would like to try, I have made a guide similar to the one that I made for Mavericks a while ago. It is for setting up a single hard drive that contains the Boot, Installer, and Yosemite partitions all on one drive. This is how I am currently running 10.10 DP2 on my Mac Pro 1,1 with a GTX570. The guide includes links for Chameleon r2380, an Extra folder and the Kernels folder.

Hi Hennesie2000,

Tried your guide, worked perfectly.

Thanks,
 
Hmm, even though I am booting with Clover, I cannot get iMessages/FaceTime to work. Any suggestions? Also, I am working in the Yose forum with BT 4.0 and Handoff.

You could try creating a 1GB boot partition. Then install Chameleon there. I would make sure you have everything backed up though if you are doing this on your main HDD.

As i told some days ago, and as you souggested i'm trying to install Yosemite on my Macmini 2,1 using your guide and installing everything on main hard disk.

I proceeded like this: i created 3 more partitions: Boot, Installer and Yosemite;
I created the Yosemite installer partition as described in your guide;
Then i used the Chameleon Installer to install it in the Boot partition (i make the "standard" installation");
Then i copyed the "Extra" folder to the root of the Boot partition and modifyed the SMBios.plist: here i replaced the Serialn number, but event the Computer Model and Board Id... with the one of my macmini... (i don't know if i should replace only the serial number... but i though mine isn't a Mac Pro... So!);
Then i copyed the "Kernels" folder fron the downloaded files in the /System/library folder on the installer Partition;
I opened Terminal and give the sudo bless... command
Then i rebooted...

Once rebooted the display was black, and it starts like if it was a PC...
I noticed he tell that there wasn't a Kernel...
Anyway it went go and i could select to boot with Installer partitions but after this it stops as you can see in the image...

So where am i wrong?
Thanks :)

It could be that OS X 10.10 will not load nor work with your graphics at all. You might have gotten away with the GMA X3100 kexts from Snow Leopard 10.6.2 while using Tiamos boot.efi in Mavericks despite the complete lack of Quartz Extreme or any Graphics Acceleration. The use of any hackintosh boot loader presents greater problems with unsupported graphics in my experiences.

Thanks for the effort as usual. I am getting a /System/Library/Kernels/kernel not found error. Any thoughts?

Even with:

<key>Kernel</key>
<string>/System/Library/Kernels/kernel</string>

...present in your "org.chameleon.Boot.plist" ?

You put the "Kernels" folder from the download in my guide in the "System/Library/" folder on the installer partition?

My guide is for a Mac Pro with an updated graphics card. I'm sorry but I can't really support you because I have no way of testing your configuration. It could be that the DSDT.aml file is incompatible or could be other driver/kext issues that are part of Yosemite.

Hello guys,
I'm running 10.9.3 on my upgraded Mac Pro 1.1 (to 2.1) with Ati HD 5770 Mac version.

Any idea what this error might means on my try to install Yosemite DP1 with the Hennesie2000's guide?

Thanks in advance,
VAG

Do you know what com.apple.driver.AppleKeyStore is? Seems to be the issue. Maybe its been edited or not signed right?

I tried searching online and it seems to be related to kernel cache which I think has to be ignored to boot 10.10 until the compression type is changed to lzss

It has caused trouble for people trying to enable TRIM on 10.10 then get fail to boot because some kext has been edited

I found it easiest to install onto my drive via a supported mac then just boot straight from a known working copy. I know its not easy but I had a spare 2.5" hd I could use with an external case to install to to try out 10.10 and for now I'm just leaving it alone. First time since 10.4 DPs I'm leaving this to my secondary Mac because its not ready yet

If you put the kernels folder in the right location on the installer partition then it would be able to find the kernel. The installer doesn't seem have the kernel which is why it must be added. Once Yosemite is installed that is the location of the kernel on that partition.

Try booting with GraphicsEnabler = No. If that works then try using the DSDT.aml file posted on page 11, not the one in the first post. Gpatpandp was also having issues with the Mac HD5770.
 
OK. I am fully functional. iMessages and FaceTime work fine. I had to set GraphicsEnabler to No. I am not using the new dsdt.aml file.

I have a MacPro 1,1 (2,1) and an HD5770.

Tried but it's the same result...
Nothing to do with TRIM, I've disabled it and nothing happens.

Memory error. Had to turn off the GraphicsEnabler.

I have the same Graphics Card...genuine Apple ATI Radeon HD 5770...the new dsdt should work perfectly. Set Graphics Enabler = No or simply omit the key entry all together and you won't experience the memory allocation error.

Ahh, I instructed him wrong. The DSDT handles the graphics acceleration fixes.

Will do. Right now I have the Enabler off and the dsdt turned off also. The system is very stable. I will enable the new dsdt and give it a reboot.

Thx.......
 
Has anyone tried a lazy install?

I did a lazy install on my MacPro 1,1.
I installed it on an external drive to a iMac or Macbook that would run Mavericks.
Then just changed the boot files.
I read this whole thread and did not see this.
Install on external HD then put in MacPro change boot.efi

This is for Yosemite, simply changing the boot.efi file to tiamos doesn't work.
