Sure. A "bad address" error usually means something's wrong with the source drive. I'd suggest that you boot from your Panther install CD and run Disk Utility from the Installer menu (the bold one that says "Installer" next to the Apple menu at the top of the screen).

Once there, use the First Aid tab to repair the drive, using the buttons on the right (NOT Repair Permissions on the left). Repeat until no problems are found, then try again.
