Hi,

I also installed grml 1.1rc1 on my hard disk. I had no problem with 
software speech either from the CD or the hard disk. I suppose there 
could be a bug but putting swspeak on your kernel command line in your 
boot loader and running the swspeak command after login should work. 
Perhaps the final 1.1 upgraded Speakup to a more current version from 
git in which case you would have to do some tinkering. Have you done 
this command?

echo sftsyn >/proc/speakup/synth_name

The 1.1rc1 that I used has a relatively old version from cvs and I 
honestly can no longer recommend grml. You could try my custom Debian 
kernel with Speakup built-in but I don't know if it works with software 
speech on grml or not as I only use hardware here. If the above doesn't 
help, it's probably a bug.
