Hello!
Im posting here out of desperation for some kind of help with my Powerbook. It is a problem that has only started to occur in the last few days. The hard disk will begin to seek more aggressively causing itunes to skip and applications to halt. The colour wheel appears whilst the disk continues to seek and then all of a sudden it will go back to working correctly. The more applications running the more frequent the slow downs. I have been watching activity monitor whilst it occurs and none of the programs are using large amounts of processor time, infact the activity monitor itself is always on top with about 10%. Activity monitor does report large amounts of disk activity. I checked console and the system logs are reporting the following:
Jun 11 20:23:13 isunk kernel[0]: disk0s9: I/O error.
Jun 11 20:45:57 isunk kernel[0]: disk0s9: I/O error.
Jun 11 20:46:38 isunk kernel[0]: disk0s9: I/O error.

Jun 11 20:55:51 isunk kernel[0]: disk0s9: I/O error.
Jun 11 21:36:22 isunk kernel[0]: disk0s9: I/O error.
Jun 11 21:54:34 isunk kernel[0]: disk0s9: I/O error.
Naturally I got a bit panicky at this and decided to reboot off the install DVD and run disk utility... I ran all available first aid :doctor: procedures and the disk passed the tests.
Nothing on my system has changed, no software or hardware changes have been made.
Im totally confused by it... and any suggestions would be great! At times it makes the computer completely unusable.
