Really at a loss here as I've done this before and had no issues at all.
I did the following:
Manual backup to external disk using Time Machine
Shut down
Remove old drive, install new drive.
Boot from MacOS DVD
Partition new drive
Restore backup from Time Machine
The system comes up and I get the Apple logo with a whirlygig under it and that's it. I left the laptop sitting all night in case it was just being slow about it, but it never did anything else.
I put the old drive back in and everything works fine. Doing another TIme Machine backup and going to try the whole procedure again.
