Subject: Re: need help getting fedora 6 to boot with speech Corey, Okay, if disabling apic stops doubletalk, then did you try the other suggestion instead of getting someone to disable ACPI in BIOS settings? One of the things that ACPI does is dynamic assignment of interrupts (IRQs). Those kernel messages showed failures while trying to do that dynamic IRQ assignment. Disabling ACPI will tell the kernel to assign interrupts the old fashioned way, like before ACPI was available. If that doesn't work then are there any other specific error messages? Does the system proceed to install and just not speak, or what exactly is happening? -- Doug Corey Knapp wrote: > Hi Dug, > I had my girlfriend go and disable apic but now the doubletalk will > not speak and I have tried the following things. > 1. text speakup_synth=ltlk speakup_ser=1 and I tried 0 and 2 It boots > fine from the fedora 3 boot.iso any help would be appreciated. > thanks in advance. > Corey > > -----Original Message----- > From: speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca > [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] > On Behalf Of Doug Sutherland > Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 8:53 PM > To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. > Subject: Re: need help getting fedora 6 to boot with speech > > Your system is choking before it gets to anything to do with speech. > The APIC is a programmable interrupt controller.
