speakup and 2.4.20 kernel

[Christopher Moore]

Steve,
Thanks for the tip about alsa.  I'll try upgrading it.  
However, when I tried patching 2.4.25 with the famous checkout script and
did a make mrproper; make menuconfig, make dep
I keep getting this error 
make -c speakup
fastdep: target not found.  That's the same error I got when I tried kernel
2.4.20.  

The patch seemd to go ok, (no .rej) files).  Has anyone else tried patching
from cvs lately?

I'm also using speakup as a module which might have something to do with
it.

Chris
