Disk Utility Problems - Volume Needs Repair

Question

Hi,
I have an iMac G5 (PowerPC) and when I ran Disk Utility I get the following error:
+"Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”+
+Checking HFS Plus volume.+
+Checking Extents Overflow file.+
+Checking Catalog file.+
+Illegal name+
+Checking multi-linked files.+
+Checking Catalog hierarchy.+
+Checking Catalog hierarchy.+

+to be repaired.",1)+

+Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit+

Macintosh HD
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair"+
When I try to load off the Install CD to do the repair, I get an error saying something about "Kernal" and a grey box saying I need to restart.
I ran TechTool Deluxe and it did not find any problems.
What do I need to do to resolve this? I am not exactly sure what is wrong as I am not THAT technically inclined.
Any directions/help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
