Hi,
Since you mentioned compiling the kernel, I'm going to guess that you
have an off the shelf version of rh7.2. If so, from a command prompt, as
root, do: chkconfig --level 12345 keytable off
That will fix it for the next time you boot. For the current session, go
to the drivers/char/speakup directory in your kernel source. Then do:
loadkeys speakupmap.map
HTH.
