gedster314 is right... not a good idea to do a restore from a previous rom on to a new one. Your best bet would to do the following:

1) Backup data (sync folders and PIM info to your computer)
2) look into creating a combined cab/installation script for your core must have tools

I want to try #2 above as I'm redone my device so many times and I find I'm reinstalling the same bunch of apps/games after each install.
