Hi,
Getting Tiger on the 2008 Mac Pro is tricky. It will work best if it has a stock card (ATI Radeon HD 2600XT). You will have to copy over some stuff from the iMac Graphics Update and some stuff from Leopard or Snow Leopard (mainly pertaining to the video drivers). It will only work with 10.4.11. Any less than that will result in a crash at start up.
I have a fully functional setup on mine (after much trial and error), so if you need any assistance...
I have read that if one has access to a first generation Aluminum iMac with its original Mac OS X 10.4.11 restore disks, the process of installing Tiger on a 2008 Mac Pro is much easier (it becomes a simple matter of installing it to the iMac, and cloning the install over to the Mac Pro).
