Yes, but there's a far more convenient way. Create an initrd that contains your Speakup module. Instructions are in the Installation HOWTO. Also follow the instructions to place a Ctrl-G char in your grub.conf. You shouldn't be asking this here. It looks pretty much like you're not paying attention to the document that describes all of this. I am not pleased about that. You're asking me to the job again, a second time, just for you. Not fair.
