Most likely. There's a bunch of pertinent documentation under the /usr/src/linux source tree, in a subdir named (as I recall) "Documentation". There is a file in that directory named "ide.txt", and a subdirectory named "cdrom" which contains more information, including a file named "ide-cd". If you haven't read those, I'd suggest you do,... when I first brought up an IDE cdrom drive here they helped immensely.
