hello pasks,
did you recompile the kernel with PC speaker support or grabbed this module from some other kernel? if latter then i would recommend full recompilation as some other kernel deps may be needed to be enabled.
btw: shouldn't this topic belong to 'hardware' section of the forum?
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

I found the pcspkr source code (pcspkr.c) on-line and compile this to generate a .ko file. Then i move it in ../input/misc/ and i have modify di .config file in /usr/src/uname -r/
I try to recompile the kernel module, hoping that it works
