Hey, I am new on the mailing-lists, but i try to behave! Well since i've upgraded to the next kernel, i am having some issues with modules, and since i wanted to try out the mailinglists, this seems to be the perfect opportunity for that. Since i've upgraded to 2.6.27 (testing repository) my pcspkr module is being loaded again, and i cant remove it (rmmod pcspkr) is the module-name differrent now? Please reply! thank you On Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 12:01:00PM -0400, arch-general-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Send arch-general mailing list submissions to > arch-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-general > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > arch-general-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > You can reach the person managing the list at > arch-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of arch-general digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
