speak and I have tried the following things.
1. text speakup_synth=ltlk speakup_ser=1 and I tried 0 and 2
It boots fine from the fedora 3 boot.iso any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.
Corey

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.
