Hey everyone , I am having trouble installing mavericks on my 1.1.
I upgraded to 3.0ghz 8 core
got 10gb memory
an ATI 5770 hd card
When I reboot and choose options. I select the USB and then get an apple and then the circle circle circle ...
and that goes on for a really long time
Actually, I don't see anything happening apart of the circle.
does it take more than 20 mins to process and then start?
I downloaded the Mavericks version from the app store on my macbook pro and installed on the USB via the SFOTT tool.
 
I did the steps described in this program

I successfully installed on MacMini2,1 and MacPro1,1.
this is great I made a small app to automate all this.

Tiamo's did a super great Job

Just input your board_id, your model and the USB key to use and click.
fully automated or step by step. you can even then patch "again" the key to add other computer Boards.
works great. was a personnal challenge to code and as it works fine I though I'd post it in here.

Tiamo thanks again.

If any of you are interested : go there http://oemden.com/?p=556
I've called this little app (shell script bundled in an Applescript App)
SFOTT aka Sixty Four On Thirty Two.

Enjoy as I did.


This is an ongoing Work, but I've tested again and again and it works OK.

there is a similar thread here, where the OP also with a Mac Pro 1,1 believes you need OS X10.9.0 and not a later version to do this.
Could this be part of your problem?

It could be, but probably not.
there is a program that changes the OS from 64 bits to 32 or so…
Last people who have done the upgrade successfully had done it just a few months past, so it couldn't have been an 10.9.0.
There is something simple I'm missing :(
