That, however, is supposed to save having to use the lame patch: it just disables the 8250 driver which conflicts with speakup. > Then I compiled a kernel with your patch and installed it. But saying "modprobe speakup_ltlk" doesn't work and generates error messages in the syslog. I've cut/pasted them below. I am guessing the key line is the one that says, " Unable to allocate port at 3f8, errno -16". That's odd. Are you sure the 8250.nr_uarts=0 parameter is effective? Check in /proc/cmdline and you can also check in /proc/ioports what driver is keeping them busy.
