No, you'd need to replace the two boot.efi files again (/usr/i386/standalone and /System/Library/CoreServices) before attempting to boot after the update.
Thanks for the feedback. I tried to install using the LEM method with the edited OSInstall.mpkg, and I got "unable to load packages" in the 10.8 installer.No, you'd need to replace the two boot.efi files again (/usr/i386/standalone and /System/Library/CoreServices) before attempting to boot after the update.
Hey everyone. This post has been great for troubleshooting and generally learning the roadblocks that needed overcoming in order to upgrade my 1,1 Mac Pro, from 10.5 to Mavericks.
At this stage I have built a bootable USB drive that I can kick start the OS install. The issue for me is that once the restart happens, it just boots straight back into Lion.
I have looked through the logs, and they don't say much of use:

Hold down Option/Alt upon reboot. Select the Mavericks startup disk. Once you boot into Mavericks, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select your mavericks disk to start
Alternatively you can also install rEFInd (i suggest doing it from the Lion install, as it has the proper 32-bit kernel for the efi file)
Ok so i used target disk to install mavericks on my 1,1 mac pro and i don't know where to get the boot.efi can i use the same one from my el capitan drive or is there a deferent one i need to dl I'm setting this up so i don't have to use target disk mode after every update
It works, you can boot installation and system after that, but it gave me crashes whenever i tried to install something (updates, apps, drivers...). So i would rather use original Tiamo's boot.efi instead of current Pike's Yose/Cap boot.efi.The boot.efi from your El Capitan should work.
Hi Tim I am unable to download efi booter file from the linkthere is a homebrew bootloader for OS X 10.9
1. following those steps to make an install drive
http://www.tips-and-tricks-in-mavericks.com/how-to-create-an-os-x-mavericks-install-drive/
2. replace boot.efi
boot.efi can be found at System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi and usr/standalone/i386/boot.efi
3.insert your board-id into OSInstall.mpkg(please google it)
4.insert your board-id into InstallableMachine.plist(please google it)
5.reboot from the usb drive.
===================
this is a native efi32 bootloader, instead of a CSM loader
it built a thunk between EFI64 and EFI32, forwarding EFI64 call from kernel to EFI32 firmware.
so those programs using EFI runtime services, such as bless, nvram will be run without any problem.
this is a full version bootloader, hibernation, filevault2 are also supported out of box.
===================
source code: http://code.google.com/p/macosxbootloader/
it is built with visual studio 2013 and nasm
Who's Tim?Hi Tim I am unable to download efi booter file from the link
Hi new here i have a Mac Pro 2.1 OSX Lion 10.7.5 and i just bought a MSI Geforce GT 710 https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GT-710-1GD3H-LP.html
When i tried it alone in my Mac it stuck on boot nothing happend
So i tried to use my original existing card a Radeon X1900 and have the other card installed without being connected to a monitor
But same thing happend it stuck on boot
Is it any change i can get it to work with that card?
I've read many times that almost any PC card work on mac apparently this has a problem or did i do something wrong?
My Mac also got only 6 GB memory maybe i need to upgrade it to be able to use a newer OSX?
Thanks for the answer yeah there was no mac driver for any GT card atleast not what i found when i switch to "quadro" i found Mac drivers excuse a stupid question but what is the Nvidia Web driver?I’m not sure without looking into it more, but it can be that Lion is missing the graphics drivers required for GT 710. You might need to upgrade to a newer version of OS X and/or download Nvidias so called Web Driver.
