Yes, that's the problem I was referring to. My main issue since switching to
a USB keyboard is that the system speaker (aka sysbeep, I suppose) no longer
does anything. It'll attach fine at pcppi at acpi or pcppi at isa (which
uses pckbc), but nothing I do can generate a beep anymore. I've verified
that the motherboard speaker wiring is correct, other than that, I'm out of
ideas.
