I think you said that the system was installed via "Target mode" with a firewire cable. If the start up machine had an Intel processor it would install the wrong type of system and cause a kernel panic. If the other machine is a G4, then download "SuperDuper" to the working Mac and clone the drive in Target mode. He's where to get a free version: http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/S...
