This seems to be the same problem I am having. If you are using debian,
it appears that the way console-common and console-tools now function is
causing this problem. If you don't get an answer here, you might try
taking it to a debian list. I actually did succeed in loading a keymap to
use with just emacspeak, but of course when I rebooted into my
speakup-using kernel the emacspeak-using kernel keymap loaded and I had to
find a speakup keymap to reload. It seems to me that in the past the
keymap was loaded for whatever kernel you booted but now that has changed.
