Resolved 2006/2007 Mac Pro (1,1/2,1) and OS X Yosemite

[RX2904]

Is there a way how I can check if have the pikeyosefix script installed?

I honestly forgot if I just changed the efis or ran the script two months ago.

If there was a way to check and make sure, that would be great. Thanks guys!

Go into your /usr/standalone/i386 folder you should see a boot.efi file with the name containing pikeyosefix or something like that.

Updated to 10.0.3 fine here.

Mac pro 1,1 flashed 2,1 with pikeyosefix.

The only thing is NVIDA driver has reverted to OS X defaults as the driver not compatible yet. I'm sure that'll be easily over come soon enough.

Looks good right?

For everybody who has successfully upgraded; did you install both upgrades? So 10.10.3 and the second one? The Yosemite recovery update?

Why don't you just reinstall it? it's harmless. Run the installer, restart twice and voilà.

That would have been my second idea if there was no way to tell if I already have it run before. But the screenshot looks like I have, no?

Yes both here.

boot.efi.pike

I don't seem to have the boot.fi.pike folder, but I remember doing the following:

"Just to be clear (sorry for being the dimwit!), you (one) runs the tobyg script: https://forums.macrumors.com/showpost...&postcount=891

and then,

1. Install the script but DO NOT restart.
2. Delete the installed boot.efi.tiamo in the /usr/standalone/i386 folder
3. Duplicate the boot.efi file that is in that folder (command + D)
4. Change the name from "boot.efi copy" to boot.efi.Tiamo
5. Restart

Then, after this previously described procedure, you run the update to 10.10.2 from the Apple App Store??"

I have the boot.fi.Tiamo. Am I missing something??

Do I need to (re)install something else??

 

[HAL2010]

Yes both here.

Thanks for the quick reply!

If you did that then you are fine.

 

[LaurentR2D2]

Same here, Mac Pro rev 1,1 and 10.10.3 works fine. I just had to take the boot.efi from my clone.

Yes, both. I haven't tried to do anything recovery-wise, though. I suppose the Recovery partition won't boot on an old Mac Pro until its boot.efi is replaced with Pike's.

 

[sweetspud]

THANKS, again!

If you did that then you are fine.

Thanks for the confirmation!!

Hennesie2000 - ALWAYS a huge help!!

 

[RX2904]

Could someone please verify quickly if this is what it's supposed to look like when I have the pokeys fix installed?

Thanks a lot!

ITS safe to upgrade to 10.10.3 and Recovery Update 1.0

Today apple have 2 Software updates Mac Os and Extras:
ITS safe to upgrade to 10.10.3 and Recovery Update 1.0 ?

 

[Dc2006ster]

I installed 10.10.2 by following the instructions here. Just updated to 10.10.3 with no problems. Did not see the second update people are mentioning i.e. the Yosemite Recovery.

Once more, thanks to everyone for a smooth update.

No problem at all. I updated them at the same time.

 

[sarthak]

Updated just fine to 10.10.3, had boot.efi.tiamo installed from a while ago.

 

[HAL2010]

Installed PikeYoseFix, did the update and now I have a dead Mac Pro. I tried the install new boot.efi files by means of putting the Mac Pro in target-mode and install the boot.efi file on the 2 places at System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi and usr/standalone/i386/boot.efi. But I have a flashing folder with a question mark in it. I'm obviously doing something wrong. Can anybody help me?
Do I have to lock the boot.efi files? Am I using the wrong boot.efi file?
BTW: I've got a fusion drive and no recovery HD

Thanks!

Pretty sure the problem is your fusion drive. This was discussed a page or a few back.

I had no problems with the update to 10.10.1 and 10.10.2. Maybe I revert back to a separate ssd and HD. I was never impressed with the performance of the fusiondrive. Unfortunately my ssd is too small for my time machine back-up.

Recovery Partition

Thanks to all of those who have put the hard work in getting Yosemite to work on the 1,1. I've faired pretty well so far getting things working. One thing that I have apparently hosed is my recovery partition. I tried to work through the steps on this thread to enable the Option key on boot but it didn't work and I also now can't boot into recovery with Command-R. Any advice out there on how to salvage? Not a deal breaker but more of a learning opportunity for me. I have other system drives I can also boot from.

Thanks

Trim support

Updated to 10.10.3 (Mac Pro 1,1 boot.efi method): no problem.
Trim support is "no". Can I enable trim again?
