YDL 5.0.2 problem on iBook G4

Hi,

I had installed YDL 5.0.2 successfully on my iBook (G4, late 2005) and
also on my 7600/200 by using 'yum update' on both cases (and my own
kernel for the 7600). A friend who has a 2004 iBook G4 later tried to
update his machine using the more conventional DVD install. However,
he has various problems that are difficult to check (he is in
Melbourne and I am in Canberra, so a visit is unlikely for some time).
I am hoping someone may have a suggestion.

Stewart did a custom install and it installed without apparent
problems (no complaints). However, it won't boot. He has tried the
DVD rescue mode boot and checked some things, but so far it is not
clear what the cause of the problem is. The following is a
transcription of some of the boot message:

PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0001:10:18.0

Apparently libdevmapper exists on /usr/lib on Stewart's system just as
it does on mine. At the moment it is far from clear where the problem
lies and why my system works without problems and his does not. I
would be grateful for any suggestions.
