Hi all,

Trying to get a speakup kernel running on a Proliant 8500 (8x p3 Xeon 
procs) and I'm running into a problem that I've narrowed down to 
speakup.  Without smp enabled in the kernel, speakup works fine.  
However when I enable smp, during boot the PCI bus appeares to lock up, 
the onboard smart array controler (with the boot drives atached) isn't 
detected, and the kernel eventually panics because it can't find the 
root.  Also I have no keyboard.  However when I have no synth connected 
and ton't pass any speakup-related parameters to the kernel everything 
works fine, though of course I don't have speach.  I'm using kernel 
2.4.31, speakup cvs  20050501, slackware 10.2.  Anyone know what might 
be wrong here?
