[QUOTE="Soulwar, post: 662413, member: 46986"] You had a [URL="http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html"]kernel panic[/URL]. Make sure the firmware is up to date on the external. And you may want to run [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214"]Disk Utility[/URL] on it as well. Is it just for data or do you have an active OS on the external? (could repair permissions as well, for both HDD) Make sure to repair [I]permissions[/I] from the startup volume and not the install disk. From the article I linked to for kernel panics... [LIST] [*]Incompatible, obsolete, or corrupted kernel extensions. If a third-party kernel extension or one of its dependencies is incompatible or obsolete with respect to the version of Mac OS X you are using, kernel panics may occur when the kernel executes such extensions. Likewise, if a kernel extension or one of its dependencies is corrupted, such as the result of hard disk corruption, kernel panics are likely to occur when the kernel attempts to load or execute such. [*]Incompatible, obsolete, or corrupted drivers. Similar to kernel extensions, drivers for third-party hardware which are incompatible with the version of Mac OS X you are using, or which have become corrupted, will cause in kernel panics. [*]Hard disk corruption, including bad sectors, directory corruption, and other hard-disk ills. [*]Incorrect permissions on System-related files or folders.[/LIST] [/QUOTE]
