problems to make a new Kernel with speakup

[Saqib Shaikh]

If make oldconfig recompiles the kernel using the old .config file then I'm
afraid that I can't suggest much.

However, if you're selecting all the options yourself then you must make
sure that you build in support for the umsdos filesystem.

Hope this helps, Saqib
