Well, that stinkx.

Well, that stinkx.

[Gaijin]

     Hello y'all,

     Just tried installing Slackware v11, and it was a darned good thing 
I knew about /proc/speakup/rate! <rofl>  I tried booting the speakup.i 
whatever, and it's not there; just the speakup.s file.  Rebooted Windows 
just to make sure it was on the install DVD, and it's snot.  So, I tried 
the speakup.s file just for the flock of it and it worked.  Only problem 
is that according to the docs, it's the SCSI kernal, and I'm running 
IDE.  I'm wondering if they packed the IDE modules into the .s kernal to 
save space.  Anyone tried installing Slack-11 off DVD lately using 
speakup.s on an IDE system?  TIA,

         Michael

Don't worry about it, everything is fine. The speakup.s is the only
speakup-patched kernel in slackware, and it does support ide. I take
it this means you got your doubletalk?

     Yep!  Just came in this evening.  Hooked that puppy up first thing,
then tried playing with Slackware.  Only came back to Windows to ask wtf 
about where speakup.i went, and on another mailing list on which fs was 
better, EXT3 or reiserfs.  I think I'll stick with the EXT3 file system 
for now, and go over the Slackware docs again.  Will do the install 
tomorrow, when I'm fresh and re-indocumentrinated. <grins>  Thanks for 
all the help folks,

         Michael

the speakup docs for slackware are extremely outdated...think they go 
back to slackware-8.1...speakup.i hasn't existed for a while now.

This shows exactly what is included in the slackware 11 speakup.s kernel
http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/slackware/slackware-11.0/kernels/speakup.s/config

CONFIG_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECS=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DELKIN=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=y

Further down you see it includes SCSI basically for SATA support.
The changelog for slackware 11 states
bootdisks/speakup.s:  Added SATA support.
kernels/speakup.s/*:  Added SATA support.

It appears to support IDE. And you said it installed yes?
It must have IDE support or it wouldn't have worked at all.

I started using slackware at version 7 and and I love it.

     Yeah.  Haven't installed yet, but saw that cfdisk was seeing a 
250GB drive on hda.  After throwing rocks at my own head for awhile, I 
finally realized that the IDE module must be installed for that to 
happem. <grins>  Hey, it's been awhile since I've had to do any 
troubleshooting.  That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.

The Slackware speakup.s kernel does include the IDE stuff, so that is
the one you want.  This has been the case since Slackware 10.0.

HTH, and have a great day.
