[LUNI] Update: IDE CD burner frustrations -- Black Screen of Death

I now know that something is fubar'ed with my burner setup.
Just to review, here is the specs on the box I am using:

Dell OptiPlex GX1
Pentium III 450
128M RAM
Mandrake 9.0 (stock)

Drive setup:
Primary IDE
 Drive 0: EIDE Drive 10 gig
 Drive 1: None
Secondary IDE
 Drive 0: CD-ROM
 Drive 1: Lite-On LTR-16101B 16x10x40x CD-RW drive

So, whenever I try to test burn a CD, I get one of two kernel panics;
since I'm only testing right now, it would seem like it is a IDE driver
level problem, no?

Here are two examples of the panics I see:

By the way, the burner flickers green to red for a few seconds, and then 
switches to constant green before the system panics.

Anybody have any ideas on how to prevent the kernel from freaking out?  :-(
