Problem with HFS+ Journal - Bad Journal Magic

I think i am just not suitable to use HFS+. I though Journal will auto recover faster and easier, in the end I am more problem. The whole thing started when My eeepc starts to hang/crash randomly especially after a major shift to the machine. I serious thing some parts is spoil or loose from the recent dismantle of the machine.

In short, after the recent crash which cause me to reinstall my Mac OS, I choose to use HFS+ Journal believing that it will recover easier. However, after it's first crash, I have this problem, Bad Journal Magic Number or something similar. Which means, it cannot read the first journal node. I have not found any solution to recover this but to make the device boot again, this is how you can turn off the journal bit.

1. Boot with Mac OS X dvd
2. Launch terminal
3. Run the following command

/System/Library/Filesystem/hfs.fs/hfs.util -N /dev/disk1s1

4. Close Terminal
5. Run Disk Uitility
6. Select the correct partition and run "Repair Disk"
7. After it shows, partition repaired, run "Verify Disk" again to verify

Good luck! Anyway, I think I cannot get along with HFS+.
