Restore Bad - What did I do wrong?
I was trying to run Apple Hardware Test and ended up finding myself in a position where the system would not boot from the internal hard drive. I booted from my backup drive and ran disk utility. Disk Utility failed to repair the internal drive and recommended that I reformat it. So I deleted the Macintosh HD partition and re-created ir with disk utility.
I the ran Super Duper, selected Restore, Erase Macintosh HD before copy, and do full restore. I waited the few hours it took to restore, clicked Startup in the System Preferences, and selected the Macintosh HD. Upon restart, the Mac kept doing a kernel panic and would not boot. I tried to boot from the backup drive again and it did a kernel panic then too. Now somehow the recovery partition is gone. I am current doing the internet recovery of OS X Lion. What did I do wrong???? |

I don't know, since the backup was just fine when you booted from it initially. Perhaps the kernel panic indicates a system problem? Where was the panic?
(Note that after Lion is restored, and it asks you if you want to restore, do so from the SuperDuper! backup - you can point to it.)

I do have Lion re-installed via the recovery mechanism. It only took 3 hours. When it started I did choose to migrate from a disk and chose the Super Duper backup drive. It copied everything over. (another 3 hours) Things are mostly working today. I've had to reinstall applications such as Parallels and Spotlight indexing is taking forever but at least I have everything. I can't seem to run Apple Hardware Test which is what started this debacle. Not feeling good about what happened but once again SuperDuper saves my ass by keeping me from losing data. |

The whole thing seems awfully weird. It's too bad you don't have the panic log...

And you got the same panic whether you started up from the restored drive *or* the backup drive you'd already successfully started up from?
