How do I fix "invalid key length?"

Fundamentalist whack-job
I just purchased OS X for my G4 and it works beautifully. I also have an iMac that does not have enough memory to run X, but I want to upgrade to the 9.2 that was included in my OS X package.

When I try to install, whether I clean install or not, the installer says it encounters a problem it cannot fix. It says that the "Upgradable Items" folder cannot be changed.

I booted from the CD and tried to run disk first aid, and it says it cannot repair the disk. The error it encounters is "invalid key length, 4,235"

Please help, there is nothing on the Apple Web site for this, and I really don't want to call Apple Care, because I usually know more about my mac than they do.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.
 
Hi ebolag4

What a coincidence, I have that very same problem ? invalid key length (4, 340) on my bosses iMac 233 MHz, 160MB RAM, OS X 10.2.3.

I was just going to post a question similar to yours. Unfortunately I cannot help you at present. I am going to try Diskwarrior by booting of a OS 9 CD. Will let you know if any success andI will keep a lookout if you have any helpful replies.

Cheers


Eric
