On my T42 there is the following default hotkey mask:

bash:~$ cat /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
status: enabled
mask: 0x008c7fff
commands: enable, disable, reset, <mask>

0x008c7fff means that in the mask there are only certain buttons.

Change the mask to 0x00ffffff and volume works fine (must be root).
echo 0x00ffffff >/proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey

Add it to /etc/rc.local to save it permanantly.

Thats not the best way, may be in future the defaults will be changed.
