Kernel panic on restored disk!

[gkontos]

Hi everyone,

I have successfully installed Lion 10.7.3 with the following specs:

Board: ASUS P5B
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 7300GT
RAM: 8GB

The above was working fine for about a month. I also use CCC to clone my disk.

Yesterday, after I cloned my drive with CCC, I was unable to boot from my main disk anymore. The system booted and just before the login prompt it froze saying that something went wrong and I have to restart my machine.

That kept going so I decided to boot from the cloned drive and restore my drive. I booted from the cloned drive and everything seemed ok. So, I decided to clone my "cloned" drive to the original. I wiped out the original and performed a full backup.

The result was the same! Kernel panic.

I though that maybe the drive is bad so I cloned this time to a different one. Same results

I have searched all over the place but I haven't find anything that could help identify the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Any indication as to what is causing the KP? Have you tried a verbose boot to see where things might have gone wrong?

Hi, yes I have with:

boot: DSDT=null npci=0t2000 -v

The only indication was the Voodoo sound driver which I removed. I passed that point and I still get a KP later just before the login screen appears with no other indication what so ever.

SOLVED: Kernel panic on restored disk!

Ok looks like a newbie issue here, sorry about the noise.

The solution was to clone the drive, boot from it via the old and then use MultiBeast to install the bootloader.
