Package: linux-image-2.6.31-rc5-686
Version: 2.6.31~rc5-1~experimental.1~snapshot.14082
Severity: normal


In recent kernel builds, pcspkr is not included as a compiled module.

This made my pc silent when I wanted to retain the beeps.

I tried using snd-pcsp with the following result:

Aug  5 17:00:18 victoria kernel: [12610.011216] Platform driver 'pcspkr' needs 
updating - please use dev_pm_ops
Aug  5 17:00:19 victoria kernel: [12610.012153] input: PC Speaker as 
/devices/platform/pcspkr/input/input3
Aug  5 17:00:19 victoria kernel: [12610.012579] PCSP: Timer resolution is not 
sufficient (4000250nS)
Aug  5 17:00:19 victoria kernel: [12610.012604] PCSP: Make sure you have HPET 
and ACPI enabled.
Aug  5 17:00:19 victoria kernel: [12610.012652] PC-Speaker initialization 
failed.
Aug  5 17:00:19 victoria kernel: [12610.013267] pcspkr: probe of pcspkr failed 
with error -5

This machine has a 1998 BIOS (Intel 440BX chipset) and does not seem to 
be compatible with snd-pcsp.

I've recompiled a kernel with pcspkr enabled as a module, but wondered why
it was no longer included in the Debian build.
