Hello, I installed stock 2.6.30 from unstable on my Thinkpad R61i and it seems like the PC speaker (the system beep) is handled a bit differently now: - the pitch is much higher (quite annoying) - some events don't generate a beep anymore (like the plugging/unplugging of the power cord) Everything goes back to normal if I boot 2.6.29 and also the beep works during POST, at the grub menu and the first few seconds of the boot. This seems to be related to this message: Jun 25 11:59:57 think kernel: [ 6.936488] input: HDA Digital PCBeep as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/input/input9 which doesn't show up at all if I boot 2.6.29. Otherwise the "normal" sound works fine. I also tried various combinations of removing/adding the pcspkr module and loading snd-hda-intel with "model=thinkpad", but there is no change. BTW, the "beep" works even if I unload pcspkr. Do you think this is a bug or is there some documentation on how to turn on the old behaviour?
