Well, I just did a restore of the Good B&W's OS 10.2.8 partition onto the Bad B&W's drive. I booted it up for the first time in Safe Mode and ran fsck. No problems found. Rebooted from the 10.2.8 partition and launched Disk Utility to do a Permissions Repair. I got a Panic about half way through. Restarted in Safe Mode and ran fsck again. It found a few things to fix so I ran it again. Booted from the 10.2 System CD and ran Repair Permissions from there. Booted up again from the 10.2.8 partition and ran Repair Permissions again. I got another Panic about half way through the repair. Booted from the Disk Warrior 3.0.1 disk and rebuilt the directory. Tried running Repair Permissions from the Disk Utility on the 10.2.8 partition for the third time. I got another Panic about half way through.
If you're seeing panics about the same place it's either a bad drive or (possibly) bad memory. try swapping the memory sticks around in their slots to see if it crashes less or more often. Did Diskwarrior find problems? If not it might not be the drive. This is just the sort of evil evil thing bad RAM likes to do to people. "Yeah, we'll frame the hard drive, send em up the river!"
Ron bought me a rubber chicken today. Now if I only had a tiara. I understand that you can do all sorts of computer voodoo if you dance around the machine in your underwear, wearing a tiara, and waving a rubber chicken.
Forgive me for lapsing into old USENET speak: GIF GIF GIF GIF! ;-)
