This drive does not work at all under Linux Mint 19. It just doesn't show, although lsusb shows it connected.

I get exactly the same messages. Have you found a solution to this problem?

Thanks,

I've tried this out on two Mandriva LE 2005 machines, kernel version 2.6.11-6mdk.

Both machines say that it needs the usb-storage module to work. On the one machine, loading usb_storage fails, so the system doesn't even create a device file.

/var/log/messages tail after plugging in:
Sep 5 01:08:46 poncel kernel: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
Sep 5 01:08:47 poncel kernel: usb-storage: `test' invalid for parameter `delay_use'
Sep 5 01:08:47 poncel modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting usb-storage (/lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdk/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko.gz): Invalid argument
Sep 5 01:08:47 poncel usb.agent: ... can't load module usb-storage

I may also note that in the Mandrake Control Center hardware browser, the usb-storage module only has one parameter (for speed) and its value is test. The parameter refuses to change.

which is why I tried to load it on another machine.

On this one, the usb-storage module does work, and it places the device file on /dev/sda. However, /dev/sda will not mount, eject or read, and it always reports it as "no media", even when there is. Finally, k3b does not accept /dev/sda as a cd burner.

I also further noted that HP does not have any support for its usb cd drives on Linux. bohoo.

Just plug it in and it works without further configuration under RedHat 7.1, usually as SCSI device 0,0,0.
