Kernel panic after HD restored
 
I had an ibook g3 running 10.4.1 on which the hard drive was about to die, so I did a sparseimage backup of the essentials and held onto it.
I've only just managed to replace the drive and installed up to 10.3 on one partition. When I attempted to restore from the sparseimage to the other partition, I got all manner of problems: the image was greyed out (solved be turning it into a .dmg); when I tried to copy the .dmg onto the 2nd, empty partition I got an error (1) message (solved by opening the volume and copying volume-volume).
Thank you past forum posts!
Now, when I attempt to start up from the 10.4.1, I get a major kernel panic, unrolling in different ways each of the 3 times I've tried it.
The question is: does this mean that the original backup was somehow corrupted? or could the problem have arisen after that?
Also, is there anything I can delete or manipulate on that partition to solve this? I can still easily start up from 10.3, but I'd like to move the system up to 10.4 if possible.
Thanks for your help...

What does the panic.log indicate is crashing? You'll find it in /Library/Logs on the 10.4.1 volume...

no panic.log...
 
searching both partitions, no panic.log on either. There is the console log, but it's last update is from around when I made the sparseimage in August.
Sorry for the delay...

That's unfortunate -- hard to diagnose a kernel panic without a log. But, I'd try an archive-and-install to see if that helps.
