Bush is a warmonger, and I?m a homosexual commie.
Kernel panic = damaged catalog file
\tOkay, here?s the deal. Today (technically yesterday) I had a kernel panic. After basically using OS X (10.1.5) for every waking moment for the last 15 months. This is the first time I?ve ever had a kernel panic. And it was a doozie. I read the ?press r to restart? and chuckle to myself as I press it and nothing happens. So I press the reset button...
I am greeted with one of the most terrifying sights one can imagine. A little flashing ?can?t find system folder? in the center of the gray screen. So I rummage around for a os 9 cd and boot from that, assuming that I could just run disk first aid and fix the problem (hey, it?s worked in the past). No dice. It turns out that I?m basically missing catalog entries 4 & 0 (whatever that means).
So I install, and boot X from my external hd, run disk utility, & get:
?repair completed? yeah, sure, whatever.
Currently, I?m using said external HD, and although most of my important data is backed up, there are still some files that I would like to retrieve from my internal hd.
Because it?s quite late, I lack the drive to do anything drastic to try to repair this problem, and am requesting advice from you guys. And it would much appreciated (as long as I don?t get stuff along the lines of ?wipe out the drive and reinstall?)
I?m thinking more along the lines of how to repair the catalog file. And what software I would need. *nudge nudge* *wink wink*
Thanks in advance.

Didn't Clinton bomb Iraq also?
Sigh. Now we're off on a tangent.
In the future, please don't post such flammable topics like that - I'm sure there are some commie homos out there who would like to have a word with you.
So, now that we're in Tangentland, I'll just add
"Hail to our brave president George Bush."
And no one give me !@#$ for this - my father was born in Baghdad.

Thanks for your advice oh great Kopf.
I've looked over the disk warrior site, and it looks like this is what I need. Of course, I don't have deep pockets. In fact, at the moment, I don't have any pockets financially speaking. So I guess I?ll just let my internal drive sit there until I have money to buy the software. *sigh*
