Do not burn it.
Use something like Daemon Tools to mount it and then try loading.
That usualy works for me.

And its quite an awesome game

CDI means its self-booting, which is 'important' for playing dreamcast games on Chankast.
Also, better get:
http://chankex.esmartdesign.com/mainindex.html

Its actually still updated, which the normal Chankast isnt, and it runs Ikaruga without errors. Also, SOUL CALIBUR!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nonono it doesnt.
That ikaruga hack shifts the priorities of the objects on the screen. This will bring to the front the missing bullets on stage 2, but it also brings a plethora of other stuff into the foreground as well - everything BUT stage 2 is utterly broken with this hack enabled (even stage 2 exhibits other problems).
Every hack in that "chankast ex" plugin fixes one minor problem in a game, but ruins a thousand other things.

So unless you want to enjoy switching menu options on a per-level basis, you should really buy a dreamcast. From the price of your good enough graphics card, you could've bought not one but even two Dreamcasts. Better yet, you could get a VGA Box too, which will get you 640x480 display on your PC monitor - same as Chankast in default resolution.
Hmm... well, naturally you disable a hack when you do not need it anymore, so, yes, of course using the Soul Calibur hacks in Ikaruga would bring forth trouble, but if you only use em in the games they are meant for... nothing.
I didnt recognize any trouble with the Ikaruga Hack in any other levels...you sure?

That said, got through Level 2 easily, with just a handful lifes (seeing as I suck with shooters, thats something!)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've been wondering this myself. The official page doesn't seem to really confirm things, only that it reads .cdi files.

Also, I've been having the same problem with Saturn emulation. I've been trying to burn Nights into a CD, by either using PowerISO to save the ISO, or Alcohol 120% to burn the .cue file. Either way, it still reads as a music CD, on both my PC and the emulator. I have to figure out how to fix this problem (I imagine I need to have my PC recognize it as a data CD or something).
Oh, something else.
On the forum where I get my images from they recommend using disk juggler to burn the Isos.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
