[ydl-gen] YDL 5.0.2 doesn't start installer on iBook A1005 (should be G3)

Dear Mr. Zhang:

In this situation, perhaps the year the model was made could
make the meaning clearer.  The mailing lists are reviewed by TSS so 
this query regarding the kernel should be addressed shortly.

Best of Luck...

The scientist's religious feeling takes the form of a
rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which
reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, in
comparison with it, the highest intelligence of human beings
is an utterly insignificant reflection.  This feeling is the
guiding principle of his life and work.
