Hi folks, I thought I'd successfully re-compiled my kernel with SpeakUp, but I appear to have been wrong. When the machine boots my synthesizer (Braille 'n Speak) starts to talk but stops when the O/S reports an error that my 2.2.14 kernel can't be run on an i586. When I compiled the kernel I cheated and did a "make oldconfig" instead of a "make config", partly to save time and partly to avoid some of the questioning that might lead me astray. Is this where I went wrong? Do I need a different copy of the source (Red Hat 6.1)? I should state that linux continues to load and allows me to log in, but with no speech. If I do "uname -r" I get the correct kernel version back (i.e. 2.2.14 instead of my previous 2.2.12). Help! I'm so near, yet so far! Thanks, yet again, in advance.
