My guess would be that the problem is either the scsi card or the CD-RW
(but most likely the scsi card). I have installed YDL on 6 different G4s
without any problems so far, including machines with DVD-ROM and DVD-RAMs,
single and dual CPUs as well.
If that doesn't work, try updating the firmware as well (if you haven't
already done so).
Cheers,
Chris
