[gentoo-user] Continuous beeping with kernel 3.10 and 3.11

[Peter Weilbacher]

On one of my machines, I get continuous beeping from the internal 
loudspeaker when I boot a newer kernel (I'm using vanilla-sources). I 
first had that with 3.10.8 and also with 3.10.10, and it continues with 
3.11.1.

When I first had that problem I tried to remove all config options that 
had to do with the internal speaker, like
   CONFIG_HAVE_PCSPKR_PLATFORM
   CONFIG_PCSPKR_PLATFORM
   CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR
but that didn't help.

In the meantime I left the machine on long enough to discover that it 
stops beeping whenever it is idle long enough and blanks the display.

Does that ring a bell with someone?
