I've used fsck, applejack, onyx countless times. I'd really like to
re-install without reformatting though.

Thanks for replying, Paul.
It panics with or without the 200 GB attached. Yes I'd thought maybe
a FireWire problem too.
Thanks. I hope I've given you enough info.
I just had a quick look at the source - that panic looks like it
is there to protect against a condition that shouldn't happen...
I'm beat - but running fsck over both disks wouldn't hurt.

Without studying the info provided too deeply:
Does it only panic when the 200 GB drive is mounted? I'd guess
that the HFS+ (I assume) metadata structures are corrupted on your
200 GB drive - umount and run fsck (Darwin method) or Disk Utility
(Mac OS X) over the filesystem.
Either that, or there's unrelocatable bad blocks in the HFS+
metadata
structures that's causing problems. I haven't checked the source -
what does Darwin do on metadata write failures? Panic?
Second look at the panic string and backtrace, I'm guessing the
later.
