My Mac B&W G3 rev.1 suffered the corruption of the 9 GB OEM HD. I reformatted with OS 9.1 system disk and installed OS 9.1. I then did a clean install using Conflict Catcher with my system disk with all my favorite extensions. When I tried to install Jaguar, I got a message that the install could not be done as there were issues with the disk. I'm sorry I can't be more specific than that but it was late, I was dumb founded and generally confused. I then remembered my rule that when you install new systems on newly formatted disks, you will be better off if you check the HD with TTP or DW. Why? More than once, I've found errors from system installations that had to be corrected with some disk utility. So I ran TTP and there were problems that TTP corrected. After that, the installation of Jaguar went OK. So maybe a look at your disk health with TTP or your favorite disk utility will help if you haven't done so recently. Good luck.
