Ok, A few weeks ago I posted a message to this list about a hard drive problem. Thanks to the response I got, I went out and purchased a nice nifty new hard drive, and then reinstalled SuSE. I've got all of the updates and everything else in the system. Oddly enough though, I've got a new "problem". It doesn't seem too serious, it's just annoying and I don't understand it at all. After the laptop has been on for more than 30 minutes or so, it starts beeping. The beeps seem to be intermittent and don't seem to have ANY bearing on what I'm doing at that moment. This has never happened before. The only hardware I've upgraded is from a 4200 rpm laptop drive to a 5400 rpm drive (same size). It seems to be running great. The system recognized it on the first try (after I figured out how to reconnect the silly thing). YaST didn't see any problem with it at all, and the system seems 100% stable. My fans are coming on and off like always, and everything else "seems fine". Any ideas? Thanks in Advance...........
