If the problem is a corrupted disk directory, Disk Warrior would
solve it.
I've just gone through similar problems, that got complicated. (Long
story.) In the end, even though I had two backups of the partition
that was giving me trouble, I wasn't able to get a stable and usable
one. I did the archive and install (several times) with no luck,
then did a clean install thinking I could at least migrate all my
stuff over using the setup-assistant, but that didn't work.
I think the problem is that I was installing 10.4, but was migrating
from later versions of apps that I had under 10.4.11--I probably
should have done all the updates first, and then used set-up
assistant to migrate stuff from the messed up drives. By that point,
I was afraid of transferring something that was problematic, so I've
just been manually moving stuff over.
Anyway--I would definitely run Disk Warrior first.
Good luck!
