Thanks for the suggestion!

I installed the 'pcspkr' module using 'modconf', but still hear nothing.

Other ideas?

Thanks,

Did you try to "beep" as root?  (I use the program /usr/bin/beep for
this test.  The reason I ask is because I think once I had to be root to
run "beep."  I forget what the problem was, probably a permissions issue.)

Failing that, the next question is "is your speaker connected?"  If it
is you should hear one or more beeps from the BIOS, while booting.
