If you have diskwarrior I would run it while started from the diskwarrior CD.
If not (or after), you should Startup from the OS X Install 1 CD, and run Disk Utility (choose from the menu next to the blue apple menu when started from the CD).
'Verify' and if necessary, 'Repair' your disk using Disk Utility.
Then, if everything checks out OK or is repaired sucessfully, I would recommend an "Archive & Install" reinstallation of OS X. This is the easist way to take the next troubleshooting step.
You are started up from the OS X Install 1 CD already, so you just quit the Disk Utility, this should bring you back to the Installer
Click through the screens, and then when you have chosen the disk to install onto, the option to 'Customize' should appear at the bottom of the window.
Click 'Customize', and on the ensuing screen, choose 'Achive & Install and 'Preserve User Settings'
Click continue and begin the installation process.
This will replace OS X, but preserve your User accounts and settings.
Things you may have to reinstall when this is done are: custom Printer and other hardware drivers.
OS X Software Update will also need to be run again (if you have fast internet, choose Software Update' under the Blue apple menu and install OS updates.
Please have your importanat data backed up, and the OS X install 2 disk handy.
Be aware that you must not skip the 'Preserve user settings' step if you don't want a complete reinstallation.
Good Luck -AMG
