After Security Update 2018-001, MacPro 1,1 no longer boot

[r2d3]

My MacPro 1,1 using Piker boot.efi worked fine until the last "Security Update 2018-001".

Now, the machine starts booting then loop back to chime ...

In verbose mode, no "interesting" (for debug) message seems to be shown.

Any idea ?

I had the same problem (see this thread) and was able to recover by restoring my last full backup.

Alternately, some people on that thread have been able to simply re-install their 'pikified' USB install image to the broken target disk to recover, preserving user data and settings.

Going forward, I logged in as 'admin' and set that Security Update 2018-001 to be 'hidden' and will be sure to check that macrumors.com thread before applying any other kernel updates in future.

Get another Mac and plug in the HD in it (external is) we need to copy boot.efi into /System/Library/CoreServices/. and /usr/standalone/i386 because it was overwritten by the security update. That’s it !
