Unexplicable bip during intrepid startup

I'm also using intreid x64 and have the same error on boot. The beep continues until I log in. Is there anything to fix this? I'm not sure if there's any record of the error, if there is, let me know where and what file is needed, and I'll be more than happy to provide any additional info. I may have.

not really sure this bug is the same as bug 242966

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

The Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Beta release was most recently announced - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta . It contains the 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. It would be great if you could test and verify if this is still an issue. The status is being set to Incomplete until we receive further feedback. Thanks.

I get the same behavior on two different laptops (Compal JHL90 and MSI GX 720). The sound starts immediately after the kernel is loaded and is similar to the beep that occurs when you press too much keys on you keyboard and the keyboard buffer overflow.
I upgrade to the latest kernel after a beta installation on dual boot systems (Vista + Ubuntu 8.810)

Could the beep be caused by Bug #246269 ?

I can sumbit the existence of this bug. It happens not very often, but not rarely enough to just skip it. Though I haven't seen it for 2 days, now I've got it under the latest kernel 2.6.27. After it starts beeping, Ubuntu doesn't load up, instead the screen is full of trash, sort of grayscale pictures (the image changes from dark gray to lighter one, and it affects different parts of the screen in different time, so it's all very unsolid).

I have the same problem on the last Kubuntu amd64 beta version (it looks like it already has a 2.6.27 kernel). I didn't investigate too much on this though (it was late and my bip system was so loud that I assumed that waiting until the boot terminate was going to awake everyone in the building...). I would like to help on that. If I can find something about that today, I'll tell so here.

I marked this bug as a dupliate of bug #246269 since this is only one of the sides effects of #246269. Correcting #246269 will fix this. For those who encounters that behavior, just check that bug and follow captn instructions to get things fixed.
