I had no problems getting my iPod to work under Centos 3 (2.4.x kernel), once I had recompiled without the EFI partition option. In this case I don't think EFI is a factor though, as the device isn't even making it to the partition scanning stage.

In this case, I tried with EFI disabled (just to cover all bases) and it has no effect, because, as I said, it never gets far enough to even scan the partition table.
