Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.33-2-686 Severity: normal Dear Thomas and dear Debian folks,
I am sorry to submit another report to Debian’s Linux kernel package.
I just picked a version number for the metadata found with a search
engine and containing 2.6.33.
With `linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64` when GDM starts or the system shuts
down I do not hear any beep from the PC speaker.
$ dpkg -S /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf
alsa-base: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf
$ LANG=C dpkg -l alsa-base

$ lsmod | grep pcs

$ dmesg | grep spk

With a Linux kernel at version 2.6.33 the module `pcspkr` is loaded too.
$ grep spk
dmesg.2.6.33-8724fdb53d27d7b59b60c8a399cc67f9abfabb33--with-beep
[ 58.254983] input: PC Speaker as
/devices/platform/pcspkr/input/input4
I tried other revisions and the numbering does not influence the beep.
Could it be related to the following commit [1]?
$ git log origin/master -- drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.c

i8253: Convert i8253_lock to raw_spinlock
If yes that would mean, the pcspkr just did not work before and it would
have to be blacklisted in `/etc/modprobe.d/`.
Thanks,
Paul
