I'm not a PPC user but from your hdparm output it looks like your cdrw it using mdma (multiword dma) mode ... it might be worth trying to force it to use udma mode 2 ... check out man hdparm for the command, iirc it's -X 69 for mode 2. It looks like your drive supports that mode, so if your mobo does too, it may help.
