So, just today I noticed a problem with kernel 2.6.18-194 (CentOS 5.5)
on several Intel DP965LT systems; the system beeps (such as terminal beeps) are
no longer passed through to the external speakers. This is a problem because
in our situation the boxes are distant from their monitor/keyboard, the system
speaker on this motherboard is extremely weak, and there are no system speaker
header pins on the motherboard. The problem goes away if I revert the system
to 2.6.18-164 with no other changes.
I looked through the list archives and searched the web for other
people who have encountered this, but it's pretty specific (and hard to search
for "system beep"!) Is there someplace can I find *detailed* release notes on
the differences between -164 and -194 kernels to help in looking for the
problem, pinning it down, and submitting a patch (and/or building my own
kernel), or should I just download the SRPMS and dig in?
Thanks,
-G.
