There is a fairly simple workaround, just run this command once: "/sbin/modprobe pcspkr" then add the same command to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local to make the change permanent across reboots.
Actually, if you know for a fact that you don't have an /etc/rc.modules and nothing ever will create that file on your system, it's probably better to do this:
echo \#\!/bin/sh > /etc/rc.modules echo "/sbin/modprobe pcspkr" >> /etc/rc.modules chmod +x /etc/rc.modules
rc.modules, if exists, is called by rc.sysinit It seems like a better idea to load up the module early in the boot chain.
Actually, if /etc/rc.modules does exist, just add the modprobe command to it. Also, if any package replaces an existing /etc/rc.modules instead of appending lines to it, that package is broken.
