Can't boot on new MBP with FireWire
Hi,
made a Super Duper clone of HD to FireWire on the old MBP (CoreDuo), everything worked perfect, could boot and work from the FW disk. Now received the new MBP (Santa Rose) and cannot boot from this FW disk - during startup getting kernel panic! Also tried to delete BootCache.kext - without any result. Any suggestions? TIA, Ivan |

Yes: don't do that.
The new MBP came with a special build of OSX -- your older build isn't compatible...

So how can I restore my previous configuration without installing everything new - I don't have my old MBP anymore?

Use the Migration Assistant. It can migrate not only from other Macs in Target Disk Mode, but also from a partition on an external Firewire disk.
It can be run automatically during the initial setup of a fresh OS install, or after initial setup by running it from /Applications/Utilities. |

Thanks a lot, Migration Assistant worked just fine for me - everything there only the Little Snitch didn't survived the restore
