You don't say what version of NO.
I use ver 2001 and Partitions.Show always works on all/several IDE's. 

Searching for "error" on Partitions.Mod shows:
]		Texts.WriteString(w, "error "); Texts.WriteInt(w, res, 1)
which doesn't fit your report.

Nor does:
]	NoSpaceAvailable = 9001;
]	CoreMismatch = 9002;	(* core file on disk does not match *)
]	CoreChecksumError = 9003;	(* core file checksum mismatch *)
]	OutOfSlots = 9004;	(* out of primary partition slots *)
]	PartitionTooSmall = 9005;	(* partition too small to create *)

If linux sees the partitions, I'd expect NO to also see them ?
