[Guide] Installing 10.9 Mavericks on older Macs. -HackerWayne

Mac Mini 2,1 Mavericks

Mavericks running on Mac Mini 1,1 with C2D & Firmware 2,1 Upgrade.

ISSUES:
Wifi will not work with encryption. Open wifi ONLY!
No QE/CI.

MacMini_Mavericks.zip

I've gone back to 10.8.4. So hopefully someone can build upon this work.

Credits are in text file in link.

Sweet! I may load 10.9 on an external firewire (so I can keep 10.8.4 ), and play with it some more now. Now that I can get it back online, I can work on the QE/CI issue of "no display" rather than using sneakernet with a external hard drive.

If your comfortable doing so, I would look in the direction of editing the Mavericks Open GL/CL framework file folders as a possible solution in resolving the graphics issues that exist.
 
iWork not updating after installing Maverick

I installed Maverick in my Mac Pro 1,1 using the advise of the members of this site. However, although the App Store says that the updates to my iWork apps are available, it won't allow me to install them. Has anybody had a similar experience and what did you do to solved it? Thank you.

Using the .app “Kext Wizzard” and with your Mountain Lion drive/partition mounted on the desktop, select the appropriate mounted mountain lion drive/partition in the pull down tab, and install the following kexts:

ATI1600Controller
ATIFramebuffer
ATIRadeonX1000
ATIRadeonX1000GA
ATIRadeonX1000GLDriver
ATIRadeonX1000VADriver
ATISupport
*VoodooHDA .pkg 2.8.4 (While installing the default OS X 10.7.5 Lion AppleHDA.kext will enable audio in OS X 10.8.4, my findings were that it does not work in OS X 10.8.5). Also and once the VoodooHDA.kext is installed, you will need to delete the supplied AppleHDA.kext in order for the system to instead load/use the VoodooHDA.kext.

Also and again while having the Mountain Lion drive/partition mounted, open the following folders in this sequence: System/Library/Frameworks and locate both the OpenGL & OpenCL folders and move them both to the trash and delete them. Once deleted, copy both patched versions of the same namesake into the same System/Library/Frameworks folder.

That basically should get anyone with an unsupported Mac possessing ATI X1600 graphics a “non MLPF” OS X 10.8.4 64 bit OS system that I have estimated @ 99.8% full functionality.

To update that to OS X 10.8.5, head on over to: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1325709/ AND ON page 139 of that forum refer to the following specific post and dialogue between myself and Rastafabi # 3456, 3457, & 3459 to update your OS X 10.8.4 to OS X 10.8.5. Done.

Hi gpatpandp where do I need to get the kexts and Open gl/cl from? That's the bit I'm stuck on.... do I have to extract from mlpf 0.3 installer or something? Thanks on advance.

Yes and I have and a friend of mine did as well. Tried several methods and nothing worked. I ended up just buying the new ones.

I recall having difficulty extracting those specific framework folder files from the actual MLPF v0.3 .pkg itself. Version v0.22 did not present a problem however if you can find it. As I mentioned you may need to actually install MLPF to acquire the needed frameworks The kexts files can be acquired in the same manner or alternatively from a OS X 10.7.5 Lion install.

It should be possible to extract the files from the OS X Lion Combo-Update 10.7.5 (1.91 GB). Mount the 'MacOSXUpdCombo10.7.5.dmg' and extract the 'MacOSXUpdCombo10.7.5.pkg' (4 GB) with Pacifist.
 
Mini C2D Update

I have Mav running on external drive now just to get the bugs worked out. Here is the status on GMA 950 QE/CI, and I need some help. I changed the display drivers over to the x64 ones from 10.7.2, and have noticed a performance increase. Also I have taken the liberty of replacing the following: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A/libCGXCoreImage.A.dylib, as well as it's link, libCGXCoreImage.dylib, and the 88k WindowServer binary with the ones from 10.8.4. I now get an identified monitor instead of the "no usable display" bull. The next logical step is to replace libCGXType.A.dylib, HOWEVER, when I do this, I get a repeating crash from WindowServer. So I removed it, and behold, here is the log.

Look at the last error from this log, and you will see the reason why I replaced the CGX libraries. Log from start to stop, notice how it tries to turn on QE/CI then kills itself.

What is the next logical step to try guys? I am stumped.

Mini C2D GMA 950 update

SCRATCH MY PRIOR POST!

Ok, I have eliminated the _CGXGLDisplayContextForDisplayDevice error by removing the 10.7.2 GMA950 kexts, and entering 0x27A28086 into AppleIntelHD3000Graphics.kext/Contents/Info.plist, thus linking the 10.8.4 WindowServer & CGX library into a modern Mavericks native driver/kext.

Oddly enough the AppleIntelHD3000Graphics DOES see the card as a GMA950, and turns it on. Still no QE/CI/GL, but it has eliminated certain applications crashing during UI updates (animations), and lag is reduced by leaps & bounds. Its actually faster than 10.8.4 w/QE/CI on UI updates in some contexts & programs such as Firefox.

I'm still looking, and researching.
Here is the NEW log for informational purposes.

I'll keep you guys updated on what (little) progress I am making,
But I would appreciate ALL suggestions.

I wonder if you can add the boot.efi to an existing install...

exactly what I did: installed Mavericks to an empty SSD using my MacPro3,1. I then pulled the drive, mounted in on the Mac mini using a USB-SATA adpapter and replaced both "boot.efi" files with the one from forum-member tiamo. afterwards I put the SSD back in the MacPro2,1 (which actually is a MacPro1,1 with upgraded CPUs and firmware). done, it just works! AWESOME!

Cloning my current mavericks install now to another HDD. Going to give it a try.

Haven't tried it on my Mac Pro yet as I am less inclined to replace one boot loader method for another while also not being entirely certain if this EFI possesses the inherent RAM limitation that previous versions did.

I am/was more interested in this new arrival on a 2006 iMac w/ ATI X1600 graphics. In a nutshell, I can report that it does indeed boot Mavericks. Unfortunately, as was my assessment several days ago, still none of the graphics kext load in OS X 10.9. I have tried a variety of different inclusions and none have worked any better in Mavericks then the original patched boot efi did. I will say that there does appear to be promise as in OS X 10.8.5, this new efi does load the kexts and iMessages now works.

I believe the Open GL/CL frameworks are still the major culprit in Mavericks. When installing the patched versions that work in Mountain Lion, Mavericks crashes.

there are 12 GB of RAM in my MacPro2,1 and so far everything's working just fine. I tried it a few days ago with the other boot.efi file and Mavericks immediately crashed while booting.

Thanks for the heads up. Albeit a pleasant one, the fact that the unsupported Mac Pro hack is reaching near perfection actually comes as no surprise to myself anyway. I just do not know at this point how to interpret my findings concerning the unsupported iMac w/ ATI X1600 graphics. While this efi works great when installed in OS X 10.8.5, no matter what configuration I have tried, Mavericks just won't load the dag gone kexts.

You need to delete the AMDSupport.kext as your ATISupport.kext won't load as long it's available due to some coincidence. Still you won't get OpenGL. If you use the latest hacked frameworks (from hackerwayne/MLforAll) you will get OpenGL, but the windowserver keeps crashing and you won't even see the login window.

While this new efi does serve a purpose in advancing unsupported ATI X1600 inboard graphic Macs another step (nvram allowing iMessages etc.) in Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5, this efi set up is exactly what I had envisioned previously as being the "tell all" when looking at OS X 10.9 as a viable option for these machines. Quite unfortunately it is not looking very good at all.

Probably I misunderstood you, but this file is not supposed to enhance/fix the graphics on x1600 in any way. Therefor we need to find another solution (patching graphic frameworks and windowserver/patching ATIRadeonX1000GLDriver.bundle or something similar)…

But easiest of course will be waiting for MacPostFactor, no matter how long it takes for the developers to finish it, as they already stated to have finished work on the x1600.
