I have at work a mixed system Debian sarge/etch running a firewall and vpn server on a K6-2.
Today, we were experiencing some connectivity problems, and we found out that they were caused by iptables not initiating properly and segfaulting. So, I went into the servers room, to find out that the computer in question was beeping constantly, which led me to believe it was a hardware failure.
okay, maybe you've got a failing keyboard or kvm that was overflowing some
buffer? that would cause lots of beeping and a lack of response at the
console but allow many other things to function normally?

Hmmm... Interesting thoughts. I'm quite sure it's not the keyboard, but it could very well be the kvm. It's crap, anyway. I'll try to disconnect the firewall from the kvm and plug a spare keyboard directly to it and observe.
One clarification, though: the beeping was only one constant beep, as in beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, not beep-beep-beep...... :P
Cheers
