John:  Are you serious?  The install disks are keyed to a specific
iMac serial number?  I bought all 4 of my PowerPC G5 iMacs at the same
time.  I have two different sets of iMac G5 disks that I have tried,
and neither one is working.

Are they all the same model/processor speed? I think some machine specific disks are that specific.

No, they are not tied to a machine's serial number.
