re: high-pitched tone from pc speaker
Hi Matt. Do you have a UPS? This happened to me and I too thought it was the speaker, but the extra juice consumed by the second processor was in fact setting off the UPS alarm when the second processor was loaded up... when idle, nothing. My UPS is next to my box, and for a day I thought it was the PC speaker... -- Jeff ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
high-pitched tone from pc speaker
I recently installed FreeBSD 4.8 on a server at work. I cvsup'd and installed an updated world and installed a few ports. I also rebuilt the kernel to support dual processors. I don't know if this always happened, but now the on-board pc speaker (the one that goes beep, not from a sound card) emits a high-pitched tone a minute or two after boot. I wasn't able to find anything in google relating to this problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I'm not really sure where to look to try to remedy this issue.
