Its nothign to do with Linux. I can guarantee that if you took an x86
boxen with Linux it'd work. thousands of people do every day.

I dont burn my CD's under Linux. I've seen the IDE accessing under
Linux/APUS and use MakeCD under AmigaOS. this may change in the future.

obviously, as seen in the results of the burn there is a problem with the
refreshing of the device (and access?) the media-select error appears when
drives cannot respond in time when their status has changed (iirc!) I had
to swap my ole trusty NEC 4X IDE ATAPI for a Creative 52X ATAPI to get
around this myself for just plain CD access.  

I wonder if there are some tools/diags you can run on your controller
