[Ham-Mac] new iMac problems

You need to do ur migration with a Firewire 800 to Firewire 400 cable. It won't work over ethernet.

Subject: [Ham-Mac] new iMac  problems

I have been trying for 2 days to perform a migration from my old iMac  
to my new one.  The old one is OSX 10.4.11 and the new one is 10.6.4
Using Migration Assistant  I have the two connected directly by  
ethernet cable.

The new (target) iMac gives a number code that I put into the source  
iMac when prompted.  the source finds the target iMac.  Then it asks  
again for the number code.

Then, it starts to search for other computers while the target (new)  
iMac says it is preparing information.

Any ideas?
