Kirk, I recompiled the kernel including Speakup as modules. I am able to log in and do modprobe speakup_ltlk start=1 I have both the softsynth and ltlk compiled as modules. I can try compiling one (ltlk) into the kernel and the softsynth as a module and see if that fixes anything. Could it be that compiling them both into the kernel could be causing an issue? Guess it's worth experimenting. So, yes, I am able to get speech by loading it as a module but I wish to hear start-up messages--that is the beauty of Speakup!!
