Hi Wiegand, and welcome to the list. I don't have the 2.6.27 kernel, but 
something that does work (usually), is to add the following line 
to /etc/modprobe.conf.

install pcspkr /bin/true

Reboot, and the pcspkr module will be installed to /bin/true, which is like 
sending it to nowhere land.

This list is low volume, and it may be better not to use the digest mode to 
receive postings from the list. Digest mode often creates problems, as many 
folks who use it just click on reply, which results in the whole of the 
digest being sent back to the list, and the subject line doesn't say anything 
about the subject they are replying to, or in your case, where this is a new 
thread, what exactly you are wanting to find out. A few well thought out 
words in a subject line, usually gets someones attention.

It's better when asking a new question to just click on the "To" line on the 
latest digest you've received, (which in my case will open Kmails composer) 
fill in the subject line for your question, and compose your question.

I hope that installing pcspkr to /bin/true resolves your problem, but if not, 
post back, preferably by starting a new thread, as above, and not using the 
"Digest " subject line.

All the best.

Nigel.
