I have redhat rawhide on my T40 - which boots with the kernel option:

hdc=ide-scsi

[asterix]: ls -l /dev/cdrom 
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            9 Oct 16 00:11 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
[asterix]: scsi_info /dev/scd0 
SCSI_ID="0,0,0"
MODEL="MATSHITA UJDA745 DVD/CDRW"
FW_REV="1.02"
[asterix]: 


Hope this helps..
