iMac G5 won't recognize new HDD restored from TM
Hi All -
Close to the finish line but can't cut through the ribbon -
Received the gray screen with kernel panic dump - concluded HDD failure (no rotation).
Installed new HDD (2TB) and restored from TimeMachine (nice!).
iMac would not recognize the HDD at boot - so I have been trying everything I can find in the discussions:
Reset PRAM, Reset-all
New PRAM battery
Apple Hardware Test passes OK
Disk Utility sees new HDD and formats/partitions OK (HFS Journaled)
Power supply caps look good (main power supply was also rebuilt last month)
Tried DiskWarrior - but it only gets so far before the grey screen and kernel panic (where this all began).
With DiskUtility, I can see contents of the new HDD as restored by TM - just can't boot from it.
Disk Utility was able to verify Disk - OK.
I've run out of things to try -
Looking for suggestions.
