Subject: Re: need help getting fedora 6 to boot with speech 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.
