Mac Pro 2,1 and OS X Mavericks

The ATI ones are popular with Mac Pro 1,1 users because their more modern cards still have working EFI32 boot screens. The newer Nvidia EFI cards don't show a boot screen on a Mac Pro 1,1.

Yeah, after looking over what's out there, I think I'm going to go with an ATI 5770 PC version. They seem to be plentiful, relatively inexpensive, and I don't need the boot screen.

If I ever change my mind I can always flash it, too.

Looks like there is a cottage industry of sorts on eBay of people selling flashed "Apple" versions of these for about twice what the PC version goes for...

^^^^The beauty of the Tiamo hack is that it does not use Chameleon. But yes, you are correct, as I stated above, 6of1 should download the 10.9.3 update directly rather than us the App Store update method.

And, he did state he's trying to go from 10.9.2 to 10.9.3.

Been using the Tiamo bootloader since I installed 10.9

At any rate, ran the standalone combo updater, as I couldn't get the delta to work properly. Replaced the boot.efi files and now I don't have a Finder. Everything else seems to work fine, but the Finder is stuck "application is not responding". This is turning into much more of an adventure than the update to 10.9.2 was.

Update: Two separately downloaded copies of the 10.9.3 combo have installed a damaged Finder and other core services. I copied over the Finder.app from my MacBook and got a semi-working Finder. Many other services are out of commission, though.

10.9.3 sleep issue?

After applying the delta 10.9.3 update to a tiamo 10.9.2 install, I seem to have lost the automatic sleep...

If I manually trigger sleep, it works just fine. :confused:

Try resetting to defaults in the System Preferences, then selecting your preference. I have found that the plist seems to get "unstuck."
 
Hi all, wondering if someone can help me out, I have a 1,1 which has been running flawlessly for months now with mavericks.

When I used to have mountain lion installed, whenever I slept my Mac Pro on resuming it the fans would always go to full speed for like 5 minutes. So since then I just turn it off when I'm done. However the other day i thought id try sleeping it now it's running mavericks and it worked fine no fans spinning up mad or anything so from now on I have been sleeping it. However when I try to sleep it now only my monitor turns off the compute stays on, when I click my trackpad it the monitor just wakes up to the lock screen like when you open a lid of a macbook. Anyone know what's happening here?

I had some weird issues with deep sleep on my Mac Pro 1,1 with Mavericks:

I needed to power cycle reset my Dell U2410 monitor
Disconnected and retired my old Firewire iSight camera (caused the Mac to wake up with a black screen)
A SMC reset:

Good luck.

If SMC reset does not solve it, check into any new peripherals or SW.
 
Mac Pro 1,1 (firmware 2,1) ATI 5770. 2x 3Ghz x5365, 12GB Ram

ETA: fixed. I loaded back to a previous save, then went through step by step with SFOTT. Works fine so far. Thank you to everyone that made this happen

Mavericks on MacPro 1,1: done

Hi,

I just want to report, that I successfully installed Mavericks on my 2006 MacPro 1,1.
I bought a used NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT for Mac (it's a special Mac Version, not the PC Version) for around € 100,-. It luckily works plug & play ;-)

I make use of the helper tool "SFOTT" from http://oemden.com/?page_id=948, which simplifies creating a bootable and modified Mavericks Installer USB Stick a lot.

That's all. Pretty easy. Thanx to Tiamo and oemden.com.

Just another success story, this time on an Xserve1,1. This one doesn't have a graphics card of any kind, but Mavericks works perfectly well. No errors in the Console whatsoever, all of the hardware recognised and running.

Oh, except for the CPU usage lights on the front panel - I'll need to add hwmond back into the system from a Lion install for that to come back to life. But that's the same for the Xserve3,1 which is officially supported.

This fixed it for me - initially an SMC reset did not work, but after reading this, I also unplugged my Apple Cinema Display and Mac Pro 1,1 for a few minutes, plugged them both back in, then tested sleep. It now works.

So, 10.9.3 is fully operational on my MacPro1,1 with ATI 4870

It was originally our MCX (desktop management) and file server, but when Mavericks came out, the clients wouldn't listen to the MCX info coming from Snow Leopard Server, while the same coming from a Mavericks install on a Mac mini worked fine. So it got demoted, and then we had authentication issues with it and Active Directory, so it lost it's file serving job too.

I've been running Mavericks Server on another system with this bootloader for some time and it's been perfect, so I'm considering rolling services back onto the Xserve again. The Mac mini is not a great solution as a server, though it can handle light jobs just fine.

I wish Apple would bring the Xserve back, but then so much of what the Server software does is so lightweight (profiles) or better handled by a dedicated Linux box (file serving) that I can't see it happening. Mac minis and Mac Pros are just not the right tools for the job.

Ah, well!

Ah nice. I know what you mean, I'm only a home user not in a pro environment but even then something like the Xserve would be perfect, I suppose unfortunately theres no market for them anymore due to Mac Minis or like you said all the different Linux distress available.

Having to quote myself here, but hwmond no longer functions under Mavericks. It relies on having access to the CoreRAID framework for monitoring RAID volumes and flashing the appropriate warning LEDs when the array is degraded. CoreRAID (along with everything else) was changed to 64-bit only in Mavericks, so the 32-bit hwmond binary can't play with it any more. :(

Code: 
Dyld Error Message:
  Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreRAID.framework/Versions/A/CoreRAID
  Referenced from: /usr/sbin/hwmond
  Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:
	/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreRAID.framework/Versions/A/CoreRAID: mach-o, but wrong architecture

Sad times. Those indicators still work for boot selection, but when the OS is up and running they're now dark.

That's a bummer, but still getting to use an 8 year old piece of hardware with the only loss is the lights on the front, I'd call that pretty impressive. Ideal? Of course not.

No arguments there - this Xserve is still trucking along. Set up a few of the Server services, including File Sharing and Caching Server and it's proving itself to be an excellent piece of kit again.

It was specced with an extra four gigabit network ports, which are now configured for link aggregation again, so its throughput for data-heavy network services is marvellous. :)
 
I'm using my MacPro 1,1 (2,1 firmware) as a server for a few days now.
But having some annoying problems with reboot isseus..

Im running OSX 10.9.3 installed with the latest SFOTT App.

But every time I want to reboot, its in a loop.. (startup chime, over and over..)


I have done a SMC Reset, and pushed all the buttons I could find on the Logic board.
I think those are hard reset SMC Buttons or something ?

Is this problem known here ?
What can i do to fix it ?




Hardware setup :
32GB Ram (fully tested also with Apple hardware test and with memtest86 for Mac)
ATI 4870 Official Mac Edition card.
OS Macintosh HDD ( installed on RAID1 Dual Spinpoint harddisks, Smart is ok and HDD should be fine. Also tested with HDtune and some other tools)
Data HDD (installed on RAID1 Dual Spinpoint harddisks Smart is ok and HDD should be fine. Also tested with HDtune and some other tools)
