Okay Ernst thanks.  I concur with Greg it looks like you may not have
specified the apolo as your default synth when configuring the
kernel.  You should still be able to load the synth at the lilo boot
prompt or in your lilo.conf file with an append line to get it to come
up probing for the apolo.  You can also load it after logging in with
the echo apolo >/proc/speakup/synth_name command although it would
probably be better to do it in lilo or just reconfigure the kernel and
recompile.  It shouldn't take very long to do considering you
basically already have everything compiled.

After the speakup version 2.0. whatever you should see a probing for
apolo message indicating that it is attempting to find the Apolo.

good luck.
  Kirk
