Thanks, but that did not work. Checking the box was not an option.
The sudo command I posted a second ago was the only thing that worked (in case others experience the same issue).
Got a tip for us?

here we go again
I really would like to know what's going on here... after reading your post I installed LS 3.4.2 on a fresh Yosemite (14A389) running on MacPro2,1 with Pike's boot.efi. reboots just fine.

ah, yeah. sorry. works if you're logged in as root (as I usually do when fiddling around with this kind of stuff).
There MUST be something wrong on your system. I updated 14A389 to LS 3.4.2 with no problem whatsoever.

Easiest way to get the file path is to just drag the boot.efi file into the terminal window. And, the path is without the <>.

USB and Sound Issues
Hi,
thanks to the step-by-step guide and the new b/w boot.efi, I managed to install Yosemite from an external FireWire Disk to my MacPro. The boot process works like charm, except that I do not see the boot logo for some reasons. However, I do face USB issues. The keyboard works just fine, but my mouse is incredible laggy. If I unplug the mouse and plug it back in, it is not recognized anymore. My G35 headset is also not detected (I also do not see a speaker icon in the menu bar whether I have the headphones plugged in or not).
My configuration is:
MacPro 2,1 (firmware upgrade from 1,1)
2x quadcore 2GHz
8 GB RAM
ATI Radeon 7750 HD 1GB
I had similar issues when upgrading from 10.9 to 10.9.2. I hoped to solve these with Yosemite.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Best,
eyseman

Is that a flashed card?
The drivers for your mouse and headset might need to be updated.
The speaker icon can be turned on and off in system preferences.

strange that you're not getting the boot logo. your GPU has an Apple EFI ROM, right?
I never had any trouble on the USBus. what USB devices do you have connected to your Mac Pro? Apple keyboard & mouse? what else is there?
hi,
no, it is a PC stock card.
the devices are a generic usb mouse, a microsoft natural keyboard and the Logitech G35 headset at the moment. In addition, I do have a USB wifi device as my internal wifi/bt is not supported since maverick.
the keyboard and the wifi device do work just fine.
UPDATE:
I just built in my old mac GraphicsCard and booted into -v mode. I do get an error here:
USB sound assertion in AppleUSBAudioEngine at line 1605
You wont get a boot logo on a non flashed PC card.
Not sure about the USB issues but I haven't had any either.
Success!
We've got a couple of Mac pros in the house: one is a 1,1 and one is a 2,1.
Interestingly, the USB installer I built using the guide in this thread worked just great with the black boot.efi file and our Mac Pro 2,1 with HD 5770.
Our older mac -- which we use as the server -- didn't want to boot at all with the black boot.efi file. It has a GT 640, so I never expected any boot logo to show but I did expect it to blind boot to the installer window. (That's what it does with mavericks)
However, it wouldn't boot until I replaced the black boot.efi file for the grey one. And Voila! Nicely done.

You should do the firmware flash to fix the unknown processor in About this Mac.
