Sounds to be like a hardware or case alarm. There's probably a reset button
on the case, but you might have to hard reset to clear it up. Usually, the
pcspkr module is not very loud.
heh, i rebooted. i couldn't get any work done with that noise.
so....
for next time, is there any software to reset hardware alarms? i know
there's ipmi stuff, but i don't have an ipmi card for this computer.
when i googled, i found a man page for 'hwreset' but i didn't find
anything with 'apt-cache search' (on either the kubuntu install or a
debian box).
