I noticed a "regression" [1] in thinkpad-acpi included in kernel 2.6.30,
I'm using the gentoo patchset (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.30) without
applying anything else.

If i try to get some beep sound, it fails without sending anything to
speaker with:

# echo 10 > /proc/acpi/ibm/beep ; dmesg | tail -n 1
ACPI Warning (nspredef-0290): \_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.EC__.BEEP: Excess
arguments - needs 1, found 2 [20090320]

# echo 12 > /proc/acpi/ibm/beep ; dmesg | tail -n 1
ACPI Warning (nspredef-0290): \_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.EC__.BEEP: Excess
arguments - needs 1, found 2 [20090320]

1: It's the same issue that I report in december 2008
