Can't get Sierra on 5,1 Mac Pro
Was wondering if anyone else with a 5,1 mac pro (six core) had issues upgrading to Sierra. I've installed twice and it hangs up on a kernel panic and forever loops between that and restarting.
Any advice is welcome. Carl

Re: Can't get Sierra on 5,1 Mac Pro
No issues here. I did an upgrade from Yosemite, not a full reinstall. I have a 4,1 upgraded to 5,1. Install was a breeze. Performs great too. Try a complete reformat instead of an upgrade.

Re: Can't get Sierra on 5,1 Mac Pro
I read somewhere where you need to upgrade the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card to an all in one, to be able to install Sierra.

Re: Can't get Sierra on 5,1 Mac Pro
I just got a 6 core mac pro today and it had el capitan and I upgraded it no issues. If you are getting a kernel panic error that correlates to a windows bsod and I would suspect an issue with your ram. Try removing some or downgrading to rule that out. Mine is cheery as hell with Sierra.

I've made firmware update from 4.1 to 5.1 and Sierra installed smoothly.

Yeah, I know, but didn't want to. I hate having too much crap plugged in to USB. Currently have more crap plugged than I want.

I think the upgrade issue with with wifi is the 4,1 machines. Mine should be able to do this. Thanks all. Carl

Correct. Having said that, you need to identify what is causing the kernel panic. Have you tried starting up while holding the shift key? This will result in macOS starting up in Safe Boot. This disables all third party KEXTs. If you can startup in Safe Boot without a kernel panic, then some third party KEXT is incompatible with macOS Sierra.
