Your discs weren't appropriate for you iBook. MacTracker shows that all the 800 MHz iBooks shipped with 10.2.1 thru 10.2.4. Normally you can't install any OS that is earlier than the OS your Mac shipped with. I'm amazed that you got 10.1 to install and boot correctly. Using an Upgrade disc to install 10.2.0 is still short of the minimally required 10.2.1.
Frequently the disks that shipped with the computer are special for that computer with additional components to support that computer (and other models introduced at the same time). In other words a stock 10.2.1 through 10.2.4 won't work or won't work right but the same OS version installer made specifically for that model will.
