I tried your suggestion but get:
"Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated. Failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from anaconda: [Errno: 256]. No more mirrors to try."
grr... what next?

I then tried a network install, in case the drive had problems. I attempted an FTP-based install but with similar results.
I've done a half dozen G5 DVD installs of FC5 ppc without significant issues (the only real one is that yaboot doesn't work on a G5 2.0GHz we have.
I also have done two network installs, one a fresh install on ppc and the other an ugprade install on i386. For ppc try HTTP to mirrors.kernel.org:fedora/core/4/ppc/os/. In the network installs I just used the rescue CD.
