I installed Tiger on a G3 Beige with G4 ZIF 500, ATI Radeon 7000 and Sonnet Tempo ATA 66.
The Mac has 768 MB RAM and two hard drives 80 GB (Barracuda and Maxtor)
After the latest firmwire update of the ATA PCI card, it was finally completely compatible with Panther using Xpostfacto 4.0.5b and Powerlogix 2.1b cache enabler
But the partition with Tiger gets corrupted when I perform a check with OS9.
This is the message from Disk First Aid
Checking disk “Tiger HD”.
Checking "Mac OS Standard" volume structures.
Checking wrapper System file.
Checking "Mac OS Extended" volume structures.
Checking for locked volume name.
Checking extent BTree.
Checking extent file.
Checking catalog BTree.
Checking catalog file.
Problem: Reserved fields in the catalog record have incorrect data, 458687, 5240
Checking catalog hierarchy.
Checking attributes BTree.
Problem: Invalid BTree Header, 0, 0
Checking volume bit map.
Checking volume info.
The volume “Tiger HD” needs to be repaired.
The strange thing is, that, when I boot in Tiger and the single user moede and I use fsck -fy most if the time I get the message that the Tiger HD appears to be OK.
But as soon as I boot in OS9, every time disk first aid reports this disk damage.
And tyhen it takes more than 8 minutes to repair the disk.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
TIA.

Mac OS 9's disk utility doesn't know about the journaling, nor about the Case Sensitive mode, if you used it. You are potentially causing damage by having Mac OS 9 do the repair.
Stop using OS 9's disk utility and rely on OS X's.

You are right., Tooki. I checked with the disk utility booting from a Panther partition and it tells that the Tiger HD is OK.
Thanks for your help!

If you have Tiger, just run Disk Utility from the Tiger DVD/CD.

Well, after a week, it finally detected the same disk damage on the Tiger volume (HD) too.
The disk was divided in two partitions, one with OSX and one with OS9.
The first time I ran disk utility, it reported:
2 volumes have been repaired
1 volume could not be repaired
(but there were only 2 volumes???)
I ran the DU again and now it reported everything is OK.
The fsck -fy in the single user mode confirms this.
So, fingers crossed...
