Can't boot on new MBP with FireWire

[plink53]

I have the same problem but I had to image my new MBP with a corporate image before migrating my home directory. Migration assistant (MA) doesn't work with FileVault directories except during the initial install. I read through a different post and ran the kextupdate but that tells me what you're saying, my backup disk isn't supported on the new hardware. I can turn FV off and then MA should work but I'd rather be able to create a more universal backup drive so I can boot different computers using the same backup disk. This used to work and was the way I updated my Macs. I tried running the 10.4.10 v1.1 installer against the backup drive in the hopes it would install kexts that matched the current hardware but it still panics.

This isn't a SuperDuper! question but it sounds like others have the same problem. Do you know of any way to update the backup disk creating a more universal backup disk? Thanks.
