I've got a cdrw/dvd combo drive in my thinkpad, and i've just emerged vanilla-sources
and applied ck2 patches. the device seems to function properly as it did before.
brett@ThinkBox> file /dev/cdrw

kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda6 cpufreq=1200000:1600000:performance vga=791
video=vesa:1024x768@70 hdc=ide-scsi
Notice i have the 'hdc=ide-scsi' option passed to the kernel because i am using the
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI compile option. Basically, i didn't notice a change when
installing 2.4.20, and i'm using ck2 patches.
Make sure you have these things configurations as i do. Best regards,
