How I did my upgrade

Yes, it was just a menu selection in the setup program. Dos and Linux will
both initialize those ports, but the problem is that the speakup drivers
assume the ports are already initialized so that they can probe for a
device on them. And that happens before Linux gets a chance to initialize
the ports. The soft reset from DOS leaves the ports already initialized,
while the hard reset (with a front panel button) apparently wipes out all
device initializations.

uphill both ways, and it was always snowing!
