Comment 18 for bug 227806

As far as it concerns me, the bug is solved.
It was really hard to track down, but as mentioned above, the bug was in the pcspkr
and snd_pcsp modules, causing a hardlock on every system bell beep (bash auto-completion,
firefox search, thunderbird new mail, etc.).

The patch for snd_pcsp was already in 2.6.28, but the one for pcspkr only went into 2.6.29.
( http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=59bdb43769f2c3995badcd930d799451f5a39f76 )
(See also: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10347 )

So, Jaunty is still affected, workaround is to blacklist the pcspkr module.
Decide if you want to release a new kernel because of this, and feel free to
close this report.

Cheers,
