Hi, Tony, it looks like you forgot to CC the list...

Cheereo. I am considering continuing to ship the drivers as modules, but loading the requested module early during installation as in the Debian installer. I will build an ISO with this change so you can test. In an installed system, the user can include in the initrd (rebuilt upon each kernel upgrade) the driver needed by his or her hard synthesizer. Please test that (as root or using sudo): 1. Create a file named /etc/dracut.conf.d/hardsynth.conf including this single line: force_drivers+="speakup_ltlk" 2. Then type: dracut --force --zstd After rebooting the module espeakup_ltlk should be loaded and your hard synth speak. Please let us know if that works for you. To know more: man dracut man dracut.conf man dracut.cmdline Cheers, Didier
