Migration Assistant Crashes when importing from USB2.0 external harddrive Time Machin

[saleemmartin]

Hi there,

I'm having issues restoring a harddrive using migration assistant to import a TimeMachine backup.

I've just reinstalled Mac OS X 10.5.8 onto a Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 2GB RAM.

I've done all updates and repaired permissions on bootable drive and repaired the external disk where the TimeMachine is stored.

The TimeMachine is stored on an external harddrive with USB2.0 connection.

I can load Migration Assistant, select migrate from TimeMachine, but when the import users screen appears after 40 seconds or so Migration Assistant crashes.

Here is the console report:
