Hey, good work on the 2.6 kernel stuff! I realize this may be old news
to some folks but I started work on getting up to 2.6.6 from 2.4.26
last Friday night and all seems to be working good now.  I had a few
small nicks along the way but got them pretty well resolved.  the
majority of the fixes would come from upgrading some related packages
such as module_init - that was the biggy for me without such, I lost
my network card and optional file systems.

One question I do have now is in my message logs at startup, I see the
following:
Couldn't initialize miscdevice /dev/synth.
I do have that old device built from some time in the past as 10,25;
in fact, it may have been built by previous speakups or something.
Does this mean anything any more? Both hardware and software speech
seem to be fine dispite the message so wonder if it means anything at
all.

Other than that and finalizing my ALSA stuff with correct versions and
such, I think this machine will never see a 2.4 kernel again! All my
CDR and ZIP drive stuff is working great with IDE support and no SCSI!
another good reason for going with 2.6.

Thanks again for keeping Speakup up with the times!
