I'm using a DEC Express and have the same problem. I have two kernels, the newest Debian kernel from Sid and my custom compiled one. I use lilo, not grub. If I boot into kernel 1, or "Linux," I have the same problem as you. My /etc/rc.local also quit working. If I boot into my old Linux kernel, everything works as before. Both kernels, or both sets of modules, have the same bug where speech will stop after about a screen and a half of text, say about 4 KB. I haven't tried doing anything with git as I really don't feel like compiling a new kernel package set again and it takes several hours. I haven't figured how to pull from git and just compile modules but I think module-assistant would do that if I could get it not to automatically download the "latest" Speakup Debian source, which is 3.0.2-20080517. Also, I want a stable set of Speakup modules and it looks like the past few weeks are not stable yet.
