Hi all. I just completed installing LFS on my laptop; this includes Gcc-4.1.1, and Glibc-2.5. I restored a known good configuration from backup that was working perfectly on my previous 
Slackware system, which was running Linux-2.6.17.1. I have noticed two things so far; for one thing, I can't hear anything when I start Speech-dispatcher and Speechd-up with Espeak-1.16. Also, 
for some reason when I go to stop Dispatcher and Speechd-up, Speechd-up doesn't terminate properly. When I killall speechd-up, I get the following:

And the script I use to stop speech when I'm done:
#!/bin/bash
echo none >/proc/speakup/synth_name
sleep 1
killall speechd_up
killall speech-dispatcher
modprobe -r speakup_sftsyn

Does anyone know if there is a fix and or workaround for the above kernel Oops? Might this have anything to do with why I can't hear Espeak say anything, despite the fact that I can use Espeak 
by itself with no problems? Thanks!
