Hi All,

Does this happen to anyone else?

Status > System Logs > System > OS Boot
WARNING: Device "spkr" is Giant locked and may be deleted before FreeBSD 14.0.

My (invented) explanation : before, the kernel was playing with the hardware with the very rudimentary PC-legacy speaker output pin.
Even that has been dropped now.
An no one bothered to wrote a driver for it yet.

Btw : Didn't we saw already saw this question recently ?

Thanks for the information.

Yes, I can see it in the log now:

Did you activate the speaker as showed in the other thread ?
I'm not using a PC type device anymore, so I can't test :

sysctl kern.vt.enable_bell=1

Yes, that solved the problem.

Hi,

I see the same warning in my logs.
But I could hear startup/shutdown tones, but no login beeps after upgrading to 23.01.
Do we need to create a ticket in issue tracker or it is already being tracked?

I wrote above that the problem was solved.
