How did yoy use OnyX to clear/delete/whatever because I couldn't figure it out..
Having a couple issues - any advice?
1. I need to boot three times before it actually boots - the first boot auto-reboots but then I can't login as it doesn't pick up the apple Bluetooth keyboard. I then power off and boot again and it works fine;
2. Despite checking all my energy settings, the system wakes from sleep permanently.
Thanks in advance,
Saqib

It doesn't look as if you took the quest very seriously AT ALL. You see, it isn't rocket science. You simply go to Cleaning and, lo and behold, the very first two options of the very first tab let you delete the boot and the kernel caches. Wow!
Chill dude. I did that already and it still doesn't work. I figured maybe I was doing something wrong... and there was a trick or I was missing something.
Stuck ad extracting kernel
Like the title says. I read at least 25 pages here and looked for posts regarding kernel, but did not see any useful input.
I tried extracting it with Pacifist and using Terminal, on both my MacPro and my MacBook Pro, which runs Yosemite legit. Can somebody either tell me what to do to extract or point me towards a downloadable Kernel?
Thank you.

MacPro 1,1/2,1 - Little Snitch Update
Just a heads up to those running Little Snitch on their MacPro 1,1 or 2,1 machines:
As most of you probably know, the update to LS v3.5 breaks the app. I stupidly let mine update last night, assuming (without checking, my fault!) that the problem had been resolved since it's been known for a while.
I went in and booted to Safe mode as some have done in order to fix it. No joy.
Feeling like there was nothing left to lose at this point, I applied the 3.51 Nightly Build.
It works.
I'm not keen about using beta software, especially in our situation, as it introduces another variable that could easily upset things. However, I just thought I would report my findings in case another user was in the same situation.

So, I set Yosemite as my Startup Disk from within Mavericks, and rebooted with the Shift key depressed into Yosemite Safe Boot.
Loaded OnyX in an Admin account while in Safe Boot, let it check SMART status and Verify, then--frankly--I stared at the bar with the icons for a few seconds, wondering what to do . . . Jay-bug said "rebuild", so I poked around, and found the Maintenance -> Rebuilding tab, but nothing that said 'boot', so I poked around further.
Selecting "Cleaning", I found "Delete the cache:" with 'Boot, Kernel, etc., &c.". Pondered that for a few . . . 'delete'? I just want to rebuild . . . .
I have copies of copies of different OSX backups at multiple stages, so I thought I might as well give it a try . . . I could always go back to a bootable installation (three active on local fixed disks), re-image the basic Yose backup if I did something wrong, and do it again.
One thing I did do before 'Execute' was to uncheck everything but "Boot" and "Other system components".
After a "Restart" back into Yosemite, I was greeted with the ever-persistent LS popups with a fresh install with lots of questions....
I was--of course--more concerned about my question ("Will this work?", the inherent irony being that the expected answer was in the form of more questions <s>

I can see the package contents, I can select the kernel and either choose to extract to or drag it to a location (I tried a few), Pacifist starts to extract (very slowly) and after about 30 sec to 1 min (I didn't time it) and about 35% progress, it says error and gives me a long message and it stops
Just tested that the latest LS nightly does indeed work from scratch (I did not upgrade) with a pre-LS image of Yosemite.
Thanks for verifying, MacDann.
I tried contacting oem regarding this on his SFOTT site, however the contact form to send emails doesn't work, hopefully he comes here and sees this or someone else knows the answer.
I clone my Mac Pro 1.1 to my Macbook Pro 2008 and up to 10.6 it was never an issue since both systems supported both. However when I used SFOTT to update the MP to 10.9, and then attempted to clone it to the MBP, it caused it to stop the MBP from booting.
I'm positive it's because of the edits SFOTT does on some system files, however, I don't know which ones, and that's what I need to know in order to exclude them from being cloned over in the future.
I originally thought it was just System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi and usr/standalone/i386/boot.efi, however I excluded both of those and it still wouldn't boot. I was able to narrow it down to something in the System folder however, as I cloned Users, Applications, and Library just fine.
So, does anyone know what files SFOTT modifies when it does it's thing?

Why are you not doing a vanilla install on the MBP since it has a 64bit EFI and then cloning over to the MP and replacing the boot.efi files? You are doing it all backwards.
...that's exactly the question I am asking so I can fix it. I want to know which files SFOTT is modifying so I can set my clone program to exclude those from now on.

You might want to check the System/Library/CoreSevices/PlatformSupport.plist. Although in my guide modifying that file is not necessary. Take a look at my guide though because it is the manual version of SFOTT. You are still doing it backwards.

Heh. You're welcome.
That's what happens when you're the unintentional guinea pig....:roll eyes:

Check out this guide for all the files SFOTT touches to make 10.10 work on 32BIT EFI machines.

Why not install vanilla OS X on your MBP and time machine your profile and apps over?
Looked through it and from what I was able to find it the only two files it mentions are the two boot.efi files I was already aware of. Gotta me missing something.
Read my guide, there are other files that are modified. The two boot.efi files are only part of it.
No problem, glad I could be of some help.
I haven't been around for a while, but I just checked in on this thread and see that some folks have had some success with the 3.5.1 nightly build.
Here's to hoping Objective has figured out the problem with the 3.5 installer, but me... personally, I think I will wait for the official 3.5.1 build and do a backup before I try to install it

ML, Mav or Yos?
This is definitely a TL;DR post (though I did get about halfway through), and I will get around to reading the whole thing eventually, but really quick, on a 1,1 with upgraded X5355, 5770, SSD and 32GB, what's the best choice for OS from a strictly performance point of view (bells and whistles be damned) - 10.8, 10.9 or 10.10?
If "it depends", then on what?
Thanks a million

I'm reading through it but I'm not 100% sure. Can you list all the files that are modified please?
