Bugzilla Bug 138870

With the latest kernel 2.6.17 the pcspkr stopped working my my AMD64 computer.

mainboards with the same result of no beeps coming from the internel speaker.
The driver is loaded, but doesn't seem to work anymore. This is my emerge

This patch should fix it (see URL field)

Resolved with patch.

Thanks for testing, but we aren't done here. Need to ship it in a release :)

This is fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r2
