Hi,

I have a box running the 1.6 release.

From time to time, the box would beep for 2 seconds every 30 seconds or so.
The only way to make it stop would be to reboot the system, not knowing what 
the problem was.

Yesterday, I open the box since it started doing it again. I realized it was 
not the RAID card that was responsible for that noise (as I first imagined 
although there was no error in its BIOS/setup screen): the beeps come from the 
motherboard. It's an Asus CUR-DLS. I was going to reboot the system when I 
noticed two CVS process that where taking almost 100% of the CPU. These ps had 
been running for 60 hours. Killing them stopped the beeps.

To me it looks like the motherboard monitors the temperature.

The reseller told me that he never had such behavior with this board so "it can 
only be the installed SOFTWARE" that makes the beeps.

Would NetBSD do that?
