Package: kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686-smp
Version: 2.6.7-1
Severity: normal

I've found lots of mailing list messages about this, but no bug, so let
me report it.  The 2.6 kernels don't support pcspkr by default.
Possible solutions:

- Build it statically in the kernel.  This seems fine to me, but some
  people seem to have a thing about everything being modular...

- Have a list of modules loaded automatically at boot.  Sort of an
  /etc/modules owned by the kernel package.  (/etc/modules.d?)

- Have discover or some other hardware auto-detection program take care
  of it.  It seems discover should be smart enough to know that almost
  any PC has speaker.
