I think that could be part of your problem.
LOL.
If you have nothing to preserve on the Intel Mac, try cloning from the old Mac to the new one, then installing the new OS over the old one on the clone.
I recently cloned a Tiger system from my G5 onto a fresh drive, then put that drive into my Mac Pro and upgraded it to Snow Leopard. It worked surprisingly well, although of course a few things were nor compatible and had to be removed. I don't think I'd want to try it with Lion, though.
If you cloned onto the "Intel G5", would you still have a Lion recovery partition? If not, how would one go about re-installing Lion?
