Hi, Michael! Sorry I wasn't clear. Modprobe works fine for me. Indeed, it was nice to switch between the TripleTalk LT and the DECTalk Express: I don't recall that GRML ever before allowed me to unload one synth for another. I gave my GRML CD to a guy I was helping get his toes wet with Linux the other day. When I buy some new CD's and make another one, then I should look for my DoubleTalk LT to see if that works on boot-up.

Subject: RE: GRML and apollo synth Hello Al, I looked back at your message, do you mean that the TripleTalk LT doesn't start regardless of the boot parameters or do you mean it doesn't work even when you do a modprobe to load the module? For me the modprobe works but the boot options don't. I also have reported my problems through the bug contact form on the GRML website but haven't heard anything. Like you I expect plenty of messages are sent so Mika is probably very busy. That's why I asked here if there might be something which should be done to ensure the boot options work which I could check so that I could report the problem to Mika and suggest a fix.
