The beeping appears to be timed with very short stalls of the system; that is, when moving the mouse across the screen it stops at what seems to be that start of each beep. The beeps are not consistent in length, but the tone does not change. If I boot a kernel with the exact same config only with SMP disabled it does not beep, and mouse cursor movement is fluid. The machine is a dual 1Ghz PIII with 1G memory. As I have no clue about how to debug this I would appreciate any hints at all. The machine had been running fine for about six months so I do not "think" it is hardware. -- Chad David davidc@acns.ab.ca ACNS Inc.
