Don't Panic !
Ran this on a Powerbook G4; upon restart, kernel panicked.
After fsck large multitude of orphan nodes, corrected.
To be safe, we re-ran fsck, this time directory repairs.
3rd time, all is well, but Apple Tech says run hardware DVD overnite in loop mode. Never be the first one to run an update.
