I am trying to install Yosemite on a 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 3 GHz Dual-Core (Mac-F4208DC8) Boot Rom Version: MP11.005D.B00, SMC Version: 1.7f10. Right now, I am stuck on 10.7.5 (Lion). The install is to a new, pristine 1 T. hard drive purchased for this very purpose.
Currently, I am at the place where I am totally out of ideas on what to do next to make this work!! I have tried various install methods including the installation guide posted here on tonymacx86.com and the manual and pre-patched EFI guide offered on MacRumors.
I have spent several days/nights trying to figure all this out and am glad for the learning experience. I have discovered more about my computer and the underworld of all this magic than I ever imagined. But now, I am really, really ready to graduate and feel some success. This is my primary computer and I cannot afford to purchase a new one at this point. As more and more applications become unsupported or inoperable, my anxiety rises.
With all methods and with multiple attempts, the computer boots fine, the installer launches, it progresses beyond the language choice screen, license agreement and begins to do its thing. At about the "14 minutes remaining" progress bar, the install quits with the following message:
"OS X could not be installed on your computer"
"An error occurred while extracting from the package "Basesystemresources.pkg".
Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again.
Why is this happening and what should I try next?? I really need someone more tech savvy than me to provide some insight and direction....HELP!
