Incomplete Boot of Clone - Blue Screen

[Argent]

I just ran SD for the first time, cloned to a partition on another internal drive. Cloning seemed to go OK, sizes of original and cloned partitions about the same.

When I try to boot from the clone the boot gets to the "Starting Mac OS X" window, the progress bar goes about 2/3 of the way to completion, then I get a blue screen. I tried twice with the same result. Disk Utility says the partition is OK, and permissions are OK.

I already tried the "name both disks the same" trick, no joy.

Running 10.4.3 on a PMG4, Quicksilver 2002. SD 1.5.5 (v74)

What now?

TIA

If you could, please send me the system.log from the system that's failing to boot. You'll find it in /private/var/log/system.log on the volume that you copied to: use "Go To Folder" in Finder, followed by /Volumes/the-drive-name/private/var/log to get there.

Send that to the support address via email and I'll take a look (this should be after it's failed to boot, don't re-clone before sending me the log).

Thanks!

Dave, ignore the Nov. 8 entries in the system.log. SD failed when I tried to clone yesterday because of the Tiger /var/db/volinfo.database bug, which I fixed as suggested in the FAQ.

No problem, Argent -- I was looking for other stuff anyway.

Just a note to say that Dave provided me with a fix by email.

Many thanks for the quick service!

My pleasure, Argent.
