OK, reran the test last night, it occured as mentioned. The beep is from the PC speaker and appears to start when x is probed/started, eg, about 3-5 seconds before the x cursor appears (there's a screen flash, goes back to the status bar, then x starts). I didn't time it last night, so I can't tell you how many seconds.

The beep stops as soon as the system starts to shutdown, eg, select shutdown/restart the screen goes black and then it stops.

The beep does NOT occur when using the 'safe' startup (I forget the wording). I did see the same "PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFG area at f000000 is not E820-reserved" error when using that method.

I'll try and run through it again tonight and send the dmesg log.
