[arch-general] arch-general Digest, Vol 48, Issue 10

[Wiegand Sergej]

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
