As media check failed, your copy of the DVD is bad, thus you should not even have tried the install.
Get a DVD that passes the test.
How many would you burn before you take the position that either the G4 Mac is what is broken in some way, or the test program or installation program on the media is broken? I've now tried 3 different isos (10.3-GM-ppc-mini.iso, 11.0-DVD-ppc.iso & 11.0-NET-ppc.iso), all having passed the md5sum test prior to burn, all burned at half or less of the writer's maximum speed capability, the latter burned directly with wodim directly instead of via K3B, all on a writer that's never before produced any bad burn that I'm aware of.
But it is producing bad burns now, for whatever reasons. You can not sucessfully install such a disk.
Even with the mini CDs, the test applet reports that the _DVD_ is broken, having failed the checksum. With the DVD, I tried both DVD as source, and HTTP as source, and with the -NET, HTTP as source, and all failed in exactly the same place. I find it really hard to believe the media could really result in the identical problem each time after so many different tries and medias.
Check the checksum of the burned DVD using "md5sum" directly, or using k3b. If it doesn't match the published md5sum, you can not install that DVD. Try burning it on another computer. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
