FWIW, I'm running ACPI 3.2 not 3.3.  V3.3 kept me from booting.

Two questions:
1)  Do you have RSJ 6.01?  Supposedly, that level is required to get
    some specific DVD problems from 5.x and 6.00.
2)  If your device is not being recognized, have you updated cddrv.inf
    to include the EXACT text that is returned by the device?  IIRC
    from when I first installed RSJ 4.x on my A30p, that value is key
    to having the device recognized.  My T60 DVD is in the table for
    6.01 already, so I had nothing to change.  What is your DVD string?

I guess I'm surprised it is not working on a T61.  Is it really that
different?
