Kirk, Thought i'd throw my 2 cents in here. Only cause I recently installed speakup0.09(or was that the version of speakfreely, can't recall) anyway, After successfully recompiling the kernel (all this is with many thanks to Bill Acker btw) I had the same problem that Jack is running into. LILO kicks off, grinds for a sec and then locks, bad locks, have to kick the power to restart. I added the line "alias="speakup_ser=0" to my lilo.conf and that fixed the problem. System Config: RedHat 7.0 running on a PIII450. DecTalk Express synth. Need anymore info just let me know.

Also, which synth are you using again? I knows it may sound stupid but I can barely remember what synth I have. Any other relevant info would also be good. Bill says his version works my LiteTalk works, although I haven't tried any other synths myself yet. I'm hoping your synth wasn't a LiteTalk or an Audaptor.
