Found card, could not find adapter. Could you send me link?
Try searching like "BCM94360CD 52pin adapter" or something like that. I couldn't send you a PM with the link..

I've made a few of them. I never made a mistake once. It surprised me. You can send me a DM in Dutch if you want to. Welterusten!
Does one of you know if a ATI Radeon HD 5870 has a issue with the installer.
This is the GPU I have in my MP 2.1
thanks,
I have done the installation now 5 times and for some reason i'm not getting what is needed.
I have tried it on a external USB hard disk, boot problem.
I have done it on a internal black HD with two partitions. With the option key boot slect the partition, get a grey screen and then a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left.
Some thing that I see when dooing the prep work.
All the files that are taken out of the installation pack are white (boot.efi) the once I put back are black!
In the platformSupport.plist below the board ID's a list of supported systems is available this does not contain MacPro 1,1 and 2,1 do I need to add them as well?
I hope this does help in solving this.
thanks,
I never added anything to the platformsupport.plist.
Guys!
Is there a way to get our hacked Mac Pros to boot to Recovery Mode, an "Opt"/Startup disc...dvd/cd etc, etc...??
intresting
In you instructions as item 17 it is written that this needs to be done?
In the past I have used your installation guide for installing 10.9 to my system and that one work like a charm so for sure what you have written must be correct
But for the hack of it I can not find out what i'm dooing wrong.
I will copy the standard platformsupport.plist back and see what happens.

There is a way to get it working buried somewhere in this thread.
It wasn't worth the hassle for me so in my case I created a 8gb partition on my backup disk that contains the Yosemite installer. Included with the installer is a startup disk selector and disk utility. If there was an issue with my boot drive the computer would boot to the installer partition
I never added anything to the platformsupport.plist.
Does one of you know what would be the result of having the boot.efi switch from a white icon to a black icon.
I know some where in the past when I was working on some hack I needed to do some terminal work to get the replaced match-kernel to be in the right icon form and color. I believe it has to do with the file beeing in a state as write protected or somthing like that.
To mee it looks like as if the system will not get in to the boot screen that would probabaly be the boot.efi as I have selected the black one it gives me a grey screen with no Apple icon and then it goos to a black screen with only a cursor blinking.
I thought it was cosmetic. I believe with some systems like macbooks the boot screen is black to match the frame of the screen and on others it's grey. So it depends on the model of laptop you have.
Are you getting a boot screen? on the posts above you mention a Radeon card unless it's a mac card or flashed-PC cards won't show a boot screen.
The black boot screen is on machines from 2011 and newer. Older MacBook Pros that have the black screen surround just like the newer ones, have the gray boot screen.
There is a script that you can run on a real Mac to change to the black boot screen on older machines. I used it for a while on my 2010 MBP but when I reset the PRAM on it, it would no longer boot. I was forced to reinstall Yosemite.
I just found out that the Yosemite version i'm installing is a 10.10.3 version will that be a issue?
I have tried 2 times with 2 different USB key and I got this empty grey screen !!. does any one give us some advice of what we did wrong !
I have read all 120+ threads looking for a solution to my problem with no luck.
I have a 2.1 with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB running 10.9.5 very smoothly and without issue. I followed the instructions back in the original post to load Mavericks on it and all went just as outlined. Let me say I am very grateful to all for a great install package and written install procedure.
My issue is that when I follow the same process to do a clean install of Yosemite on the same 2.1 all I get is a blank white screen when I choose to boot the USB drive installer. I used the pre-patched Piker-Alpha bootable Yosemite installer to restore the USB installer. What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
I'm also having the same problem: grey screen - nothing happens, even when booting the prepatched Yosemite from an internal HDD in a Mac Pro 1,1.

Hi, californian, I have also spent countless hours reading about it and I'm still not successful in using the prepatched Yosemite on Mega, even after booting from an internal HDD, instead of the USB stick.
when I run mav 10.9.5 and I check in terminal my board ID I get F42C88C8.
this would be the ID of a MacPro 3,1 !
I full day with 8 new attempts but still no luck
normally I would see progress but in this case i'm all out off luck.
I have tried with a extren USB stick and HD.
with a 2 partition internal hd in target mode from a MBP to the MP
and a internal 2 partition hd on the MP running mav
in all the cases it is the same.
when I run mav 10.9.5 and I check in terminal my board ID I get F42C88C8.
this would be the ID of a MacPro 3,1 !
it could be that this is something that is in the Mav installation instruction that I followed from Hennesie2000 in 2013 (wow where did the time go)
but I found it worth mentioning.
So if one of you top hackers have some more guidance and advise for me it is appreciated.

1. You actually have a 3,1 and have wasted a vast amount of time
