DISCLAIMER: I don't have the same hardware you do, just my $0.02
It appears that there are enough hardware differences between the two
boxes that the same setups are not interchangable. To make a disk that
will boot either one would require a lowest-common-denominator type
hardware configuration.
Try renaming /etc/conf.modules to /etc/conf.modules.old - this will
leave all the modules out upon reboot. See if this gets you going.
Why did you want to move one hard drive between two machines again?
Maybe there's a better solution...
