I've booted a few times now and found that SpeakUp can be made to carry on talking - it seems to depend on when I hit the Control key during system initialisation - I haven't yet pinned down a recognisable point when it's a good idea. If I don't press ctrl then SpeakUp stops talking eventually (I assume a buffer overflow), but it can also clam up if I press it at the "wrong" time during the start-up process. I'll carry on fiddling and see if I can pin this behaviour down. I can usually get success after two or three restarts, so it's not too bad. My plan for tomorrow is to rebuild the kernel again - firstly to try and get rid of my i586 errors and secondly to get my rtl-8029 Ethernet card to work. Thanks again for all the help.

It depends on what your distribution is expecting as where to find the file. It is a warning though and should not cause a problem running, but you'll want to correct the situation to avoid continuous messages when running ps and the like.
