Now, even with Panther on the B&W, I have to use the OSX Installation Disk 1 to check and sometimes repair the HD, and verify and fix permissions on the boot volume fairly frequently (2 to 4 times a month with light use).
NEVER run permissions repair from the boot CD; it must always be done from the up-to-date System on the HDD. If XPF needs to have specific permissions, it should do it properly in the database that the OS uses for permissions repair.
Also if you have to do DISK repair more than twice on disk, you've got hardware issues. Maybe RAM, maybe the Disk, but if your directory structure's getting corrupted that often you have more than software problems.
