[Devil-Linux-discuss] Beep in serial mode

[mailing d. <mai...@gm...>]

Hello,

We use our DL boxes in serial mode (install-on-usb) as it is easier to
have serial acces than KVM access on remote sites.

The problem we face is that in serial mode, the beep at the end of the
startup process are not working.

At the startup it outputs this:

Starting beep system-up noises:
ioctl: Invalid argument
ioctl: Invalid argument
ioctl: Invalid argument
ioctl: Invalid argument
ioctl: Invalid argument
ioctl: Invalid argument
ioctl: Invalid argument

When I type "beep" through serial port (ttyS0) it outputs the error
message and it does not beep.
And when I type "beep" through console (tty1) it outputs the error
message but it does beep.

It is realy usefull to hear the beep when you (or a non technical
user) are in a technical without acces to a monitor.
We really miss it.

Regards.
