Here is the exact fragment of the conversation as it appeared on one
of the RedHat's lists.

Actually, loading speaking LILO was very simple. I just added the line

serial=0,9600n8

at the top section of the syslinux.cfg and it went off talking. However,
this didn't resolve the problem of Speakup not detecting the synthesizer.
Kirk, perhaps you'd have some interesting ideas?

Again, below my final syslinux.cfg after correcting some errors:


default linux
serial=0,9600n8
prompt 1
timeout 600
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
F2 general.msg
F3 expert.msg
F4 kickit.msg
F5 param.msg
F7 snake.msg

  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img local

Hi Vick:  I do not remember what synth you are using.  Could you tell
us the synth and which version of that driver you are using?  Also,
have you tried the speakup_ser variable?

Hi list,

I'd sure appreciate anyone who could help me get zipspeak working with
speakup and my DecTalk Express.  I've tried severlal things and after about
five minutes of system boot messages beeing read it gets to the login prompt
and locks up hard.  Jacab Schmood sent me a kernel with version 07 of the
DecTalk driver and speakup but the same result.  Can anyone help?

Thanks so much

-Matthew J

Hi Matt:  Jacob couldn't have snet you version -7 of the dectalk
driver because we haven't gotten then yet.  The highest version is 06
and it hasn't been released to anyone yet.  I will try to send you
version 05 under separate cover.

I use LTLK with ROM version of 5.30. Yes, I tried speakup_ser parameter. I
am now downloading 6.2 images and give them a try.

Vic

Hi Kirk and list,

Would someone be willing to send me a kernel with the DecTalk 0.05 driver
for speakup built into it?  Perhaps a boot disk image?  I haven't been able
to get hold of Jacob.  I'd sure love to be able to get past the login prompt
lockup!  If I could just get the system to boot at leastt then I could start
learning and reading the system documentation.
Thanks for your help.

-Matthew J
