Hello everybody,

I do my first Stepps with KVM on my Debian Lenny system. I recognized 
the following:

If I boot the Debian Install CD on the wirtsystem a audible signal is 
played if the boot menu appears. If I boot the CD in the virtual KVM 
machine, the audible bell is not played.

I hear the beep if I am in the bash of the wirtsystem and press the 
backspace key on the start of the line. The PC speaker works therefore.

How can i configure KVM so that the PC speaker also works in the VM?

The environment variable QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa is set and I run KVM with 
the option -soundhw all.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Simon

Supports the BIOS PC Speaker beeps?

Note: syslinux uses the bios function to write character 7 to emit the
beep. It looks like qemu's bios doesn't produce the beep in that case,
while it should.
