-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 The 3.2 kernel with Speakup has the broken serial support, so no hardware speech for you with kernels after 2.6.37 which is why I suggested installing Debian Squeeze. What Speakup parameter are you passing to the installer? I agree that I don't think it's a keyboard issue, but that's very weird. I'm wondering if you're passing the wrong synthesizer parameter. If you try 64-bit Wheezy with software speech, do you have the same problem? That's very strange. You might want to join the debian-accessibility list, especially if you found a bug in D-I. I'm trying to isolate whether it's a Speakup or a Debian issue. I could be wrong here, but I don't think 32-bit kernels can support drives larger than 2 TB. I'm sure I'll be corrected if that's wrong, but I did quite a bit of research before upgrading my server to 3 TB drives. The problem seems to have to do with very large partitions. You really need GPT for drives larger than 2 TB because the standard X86 architecture can't access sectors past the 2 TB boundary. It's not an OS issue, but a BIOS design issue. I think you'll have problems with any 32-bit OS you try. If your processor isn't 64-bit, you're either out of luck or you'll need a new processor. On 5/14/2013 7:03 AM, Mitchell D.
