Hi Listers,
I am having a great difficulty getting fedora 6 to boot up with speech using
the double talk external.
I have tried the dvd the boot iso and the rescue iso. I can get the fedora
3 boot iso to run but the fedora 6 never comes up with speech.
here is the command that I am issuing
text speakup_synth=ltlk
thanks for any help in advance.
Corey

Hi people, it might be worth reinforcing your comments about having to specify the serial port. I have a Dectalk multivoice (dectalk external) and although speech starts when the dvd is booted with the correct syntax, I had to go into grub.conf and manually add the serial port on the command line, so as the system will start speaking from the installation.

No sorry, I just meant that I can boot off of the dvd without having to specify the serial port, so could perform the install, but had to manually edit the grub.conf file on the HD once installation had finished, so as the serial port was specified in the kernel boot line. I suggest that the system looks for the Decext, but since the synth is old and tired, it is not picked up when the serial ports are probed.

Your system is choking before it gets to anything to do with speech. The APIC is a programmable interrupt controller. Thats the 8259A in your system. The 8254 mentioned is the system timer. It appears that on boot the kernel is trying to register the system timer with the interrupt controller and it's failing. Note what the kernel message states: try booting with the 'noapic' option. This is a kernel parameter. They can be specified at the boot prompt. Suggestion 1: text speakup_synth=ltlk noapic Suggestion 2: Get your girlfriend to boot into BIOS and disable ACPI in the BIOS, save and exit, and boot again. I'm betting that your system uses nvidia nforce on the system chipset. You are not alone with this APIC error.

You'll need to get someone, perhaps your girlfriend again, to look. FC3 is a completely different kernel with different everything. It doesn't pertain. All that proves is that your synthesizer is working as specified on the boot line. Something else about your hardware is apparently hosing your boot before Speakup has a chance ot load.

Corey, Okay, if disabling apic stops doubletalk, then did you try the other suggestion instead of getting someone to disable ACPI in BIOS settings? One of the things that ACPI does is dynamic assignment of interrupts (IRQs). Those kernel messages showed failures while trying to do that dynamic IRQ assignment. Disabling ACPI will tell the kernel to assign interrupts the old fashioned way, like before ACPI was available. If that doesn't work then are there any other specific error messages?

* Re: need help getting fedora 6 to boot with speech ` Corey Knapp @ ` Doug Sutherland ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 1 reply; 18+ messages in thread From: Doug Sutherland @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. It is difficult to know exactly what the problem is from that stack dump, but it shows that speakup is executing speakup_dev_init. I still believe that speakup is not the problem, instead there is something not right about the device it is trying to access. It is important to focus on the device and think in the most basic terms like: what device will it use? I mean is it a /dev/tty port? If so, is there setserial commands being executed on boot to configure the port? At this point, it would be desirable to test that port by some other means as simply as possible. Do you have two computers available? Would it be possible to attach a null modem cable between the serial port of the problematic machine and another machine with a terminal program running to make sure the serial port works? Do you know the name of the port that would be used such as /dev/ttyS0 and if so, what happens if you use the command setserial /dev/ttyS0 I realize that some if not most of this type of testing may not be possible without speech working, but until it can be shown that the port works, trying to debug from the application end is meaningless, given the types of errors you are getting. Back to the most fundamental basics: what exactly is attached to the computer to do the speech? Is it a doubletalk lite, and is it plugged into a serial port? How can you verify that the port works when booting with that kernel? -- Doug Corey Knapp wrote: > Hi Dug, > Here is the error that I am now receiving when trying to boot fedora 6 > thanks in advance. > CPU: 0 > EIP: 0060:[<ffffffff>] Tainted:GS VLI > EFLAGS: 00010292 (2.6.18-1.289.fc6pk#1) > EIP is at 0xffffffff > eax: 00000000 ebx:ffffffff ecx:ffffffff edx:00000046 > esi: ffffffff edi:ffffffff ebp:ffffffff esp:dfa14f84 > ds: 007b es: 007b ss:0068 > Process swapper (pid:1,ti=dfa14000task-dfa215f0task.ti=dfa14000) > Stack: ffffffff ffffffff c000ffff c0541afa c06498d2 c076703f 00000000 > c04004bd > C062a5d3 00000570 00000000 c0749fcc c0403f06 00000202 c04002fc > 00000000 > 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 c04002fc 00000000 > 00000000 > Call Trace: > Inexact backtrace: > [<c0547afa>] speakup_dev_init+0x13/0x7e > [<c076703f>]hpet_init+0x2f/0x55 > [<c04004bd>]init+0x1c1/0x36a > [<c0403f06>]ret_from_fork+0x6/0x20 > [<c04002fc>]init+0x0/0x36a>] > [<c04002fc>]init+0x0/0x36a>] > [<c0405447>]Kernel_Thread_helper+0x7/0x10 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread
* Re: need help getting fedora 6 to boot with speech ` Doug Sutherland @ ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 0 replies; 18+ messages in thread From: Janina Sajka @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. If you do have a second computer available, may I suggest it may be easier to install Fedora 6 using telnet and figure out later about getting the Doubletalk talking. You would also have the option of software speech once Fedora is installed, so it should be easier to debug the Doubletalk issue. And, you'll have Speakup's clipboard for cutting and pasting this kind of system output. Guidance on telnet installs is available at: https://www.redhat.com/archives/blinux-list/2005-August/msg00038.html Note there is an error in this guidance. ksdevice would be specified something like: ksdevice=eth0 or better still with a mac address something like: ksdevice=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread
