Hi all, 

I'm rebuilding from scratch my gentoo-laptop, I use lastest
(linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r5) gentoo sources patched with lastest thinpad-acpi (
thinkpad-acpi-0.21-20081111_v2.6.27.5.patch.gz).

After googling a while, i found a workaround do get bay eject\load working
(disabling libata's acpi with libata.noacpi=1). 

But i've notice a strange issue, when I try to get some beep-alert i see an
error in dmesg:


# echo 10 > /proc/acpi/ibm/beep ; dmesg | tail -n 1
ACPI Warning (nseval-0173): Excess arguments - method [BEEP] needs 1, found
2 [20080609]

# echo 12 > /proc/acpi/ibm/beep ; dmesg | tail -n 1
ACPI Warning (nseval-0173): Excess arguments - method [BEEP] needs 1, found
2 [20080609]

Where I'm wrong?

thanx in advance ;)
