This sounds very much like my problems with the apollo. I haven't tried just letting speakup speak all the boot messages, I normaly use numpad enter to shut it up. I find that if I keep speakup active by using the screen review keys it seems to be reasonably OK (not sure if it is 100% of the time but certainly it seems to improve the situation). I have occasionally found speakup stops working with my apollo at other times than booting, but booting seems to be a fairly sure way of creating the situation which leads to the "too many timeouts" message. Other than the synth being used, the other difference is I am using GRML (kernel 2.6.28) with debian unstable providing the extra packages on my system.
