Things run until they don't any longer. When they don't run any longer speakup dies. The speakup cannot be revived when this happens. Also the system likely crashes since a poweroff command as root fails to turn the system off. Many times in order to start the computer I have to use the reset button in addition to the power button on an 8 core 14gb ram amd system. I tried restricting gentoo to one core with nosmp but that didn't help at all either. I tried with latest stage3 systemd file and latest gentoo-minimal disk. So far as I'm concerned, gentoo at this time is uninstallable on this system. When speakup dies happens at random points during system installation too. I got no idea what's going on and would like to know if I'm unique and need a new computer or if this happens to others installing gentoo with speakup. I've tried gentoo and gentoo-nofb kernels too. The farthest I got in recent install attempts was the emerge-webrsync step which failed because of a bad /etc/portage/make.conf file.
