Bonjour,
Je viens d'acheter un Mac Pro pour utiliser Avid Media Composer. Les nouveaux mac sont livrés avec Leopard et avid tourne sous tiger. Aprés beaucoup de recherche sur les forums je viens de trouver la solution pour installer tiger avec les bons drivers de carte graphique (ati 2600) :
Following the suggestions here and on other boards, I was able to prep a 2008 MacPro for Avid, installing the supported operating system and have the graphics display card work correctly.
As many have noted, the procedure for installing OS 10.4.x on an earlier MacPro and then copying the contents of start up drive to the new MacPro works. But if the graphics card is the stock ATI 2600 there will be no drivers for it so it will run slowly or not at all.
I can confirm that it works if you do the OS install on an 2007 Aluminum iMac with the 10.4.10 install disks that came with it. It works because this iMac is the one product that Apple has made that came with Tiger and with the ATI 2600 graphics chips.
The specific recipe:
Find someone with a 2007 iMac, the one with the aluminum frame. Have them check that the install discs are version OS 10.4.10. Also confirm that the About this Mac / More Info says the graphic display is an ATI 2600 or 2400 (either is OK, the drivers are for the whole 2xxx line of chips; I used a 2400).
Connect your firewire drive to the iMac, erase and partition it to the GUID partition scheme, necessary for Intel startup drives, and run the OS 10 installer on the firewire drive. When done, run Software Update and accept all updates, except Quicktime.
Connect the firewire drive to the 2008 MacPro, make it the startup drive and restart. Confirm that About this Mac / More Info says the ATI 2600 says Core Image is Hardware Accelerated" and Quartz Extreme is Supported." After confirming that, use SuperDuper or CarbonCopyCloner and copy contents to the drive or partition in the MacPro that you would like to be the Tiger startup drive.
Mon seul problème maintenant est que je ne connais personne possedant un imac alu tournant sous tiger. Si quelqu'un possedant un de ces imac et habitant pres de paris peux m'aider ce serais vraiment genial. De plus j'espere que cette solution pourra aider d'autres personne ayant besoin d'installer tiger sur un mac pro rev 2.
ps : Merci à Larry qui a poster cette solution sur le forum d'avid.
Abel.
