Automatic system restart after "Got Boot Device" (ASR of a previously running system)

Hi,

 

I am running Leopard 10.5.1 AMD from "zephyorit" (how was his name??). Things were running great after days of patching and changing hardware except Quicktime Player, Final Cut and DVD Player. So in order to not break my running system whilst changing the system to investigate the remaining problems I did a complete Volume backup with the asr utility onto another partition (I did this before and it worked after the restore).

 

So now I restored from that previoulsy mentioned asr backup partition and reinstalled the darwin bootloader (dd... startupfiletool... bless...). But know I am unable to boot the system. The Kernel loads and at some specific point there is a big delay of about 1 or 2 minutes and then the system reboots (killing all processess....). I think that the specific point is where the rootfs is mounted (it's right after: Got boot device: blabla\nBSDROOT disk1s1 major x minor x [the correct boot partition is displayed correctly here]). Maybe this is related to a changed partition UUID.

 

Any ideas? I am really desperate because the partition contains days of work...

 

Thanks.
