I asked this question a couple of weeks ago, but didn't get a reply that helped. When the computer is booting suse, when system services such as usb, keymap etc. are starting -- I get approximately 5-8 chimes from my computer speaker. This is well before either X or KDE starts - so that is not the answer. How can I turn this off - short of disconnecting the speaker?

Pcmcia card services will beep when a card is found, and again when its configuration is finished. Try unplugging all your PC cards and rebooting, then plug them in one at a time to verify that this is the source. I've never found it annoying, so I've never looked for a configuration option to disable it....
