Debian: dmesg output contains “Error: Driver ‘pcspkr’ is already registered, aborting…”

Here is what’s transpiring: the boot sequence attempts to load two different drivers for the integrated PC speaker. To solve the problem install alsa-base package:

aptitude install alsa-base

And then execute the following command:

echo blacklist snd-pcsp >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist

    How did you find out which drivers are conflicting?

    I’m trying to load the ata_piix module which I had to compile manually but when I do isnmod, in the dmesg: Error: Driver ‘ata_piix’ is already registered, aborting…
    I’m trying to figure out what module it’s conflicting with…

    It’s difficult to tell what the culprit is, but what I’d do is to disable all other disk controller including CD/DVD drives and see if I can reproduce the error.
