That's a known problem when using amsmath and lineno together.

Looking into lineno's documentation had done, too!  ;-)

That's correct; but if you have lots of display math it might turn  
out less complicated and more readable to include that into the math  
environment directly.  Due to the somewhat exotic construction of  
amsmath's own display environments one can't just wrap that into  
another environment; so we deploy TeX[the language]'s pattern  
recognition feature to define begin _and_ end tag at once.

Put something like that into the preamble:
---
\def\bgather#1\egather{%
   \begin{linenomath*}\begin{gather}%
   #1%
   \end{gather}\end{linenomath*}}
---
and replace all \begin{gather} and \end{gather} in the text with  
\bgather and \egather, respectively.  Same goes for align, multline  
and their relatives; of course you also could define shorter macro  
names.

Enjoy.
