[X4U] Tiger does not install here

Before the update to Tiger from an up-to-date Panther I repaired 
permissions as usual. After a couple of dialogs the Tiger installer 
says it is verifying the disk, and after a while it says there was an 
error and a restart is needed.

I've attached a handful of lines from the bottom of 
/private/var/log/install.log, any ideas? I work daily with this 
computer and never had a problem with the disk. What would you 
recommend to do?
