I did something stupid now there is no speech

[Gene Collins]

You need to specify the speakup_synth=synth-keyword option at boot up. 
Either do this manually, or put it in to your grub boot file for the new
kernel image.  I'm not familiar with grub, so I don't know what the
syntax for grub should be.
