[Ti] 80 GB HD warnings

[Kynan Shook]

I assume you're getting the kernel panic message, right?  Since I'm 
getting a Big Al, I'd be interested in seeing the kernel panic log to 
see if I can tell something about what causes it.  Do you think you 
could send it to me?  It's located in /Library/Logs/panic.log and is a 
plain visible file.  If you'd be willing too, take a look at it and cut 
out the panics that have a time stamp from other than when you tried 
the new hard drive.

I should mention though that I believe it requires a complete 
successful reboot without losing your PRAM for this log to be written 
to the hard drive, so you may only have one entry, or you may have none.
Thanks,
