I'm getting this now with 2.6.27-6-generic amd64, ever since ALSA broke a couple of days ago after a partial upgrade (which I filed under bug #280534). The laptop beeps like crazy when it should be displaying the Ubuntu screen with progress indicator. It does eventually boot, it just beeps annoyingly for a long time. On one reboot, I pressed ctrl-alt-f7 and that stopped the beeping.
In case it's relevant, I have an Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02). -- System beep goes nuts on start up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255590 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
