Speakup and server hardware

[Jim Kutsch]

Dan,
I had a surplus Dell Poweredge server and was attempting to install Fedora 9 
on it.  The Poweredge RAID hardware caused great problems.  A quick Google 
search revealed that there are custom drivers that are needed for some 
Poweredge RAID controllers.  It was going to be more  hassle than I wanted 
with a need to build my own kernels and add the RAID driver every time an 
update came out.  I gave up and went to different hardware.

If your Poweredge already has Linux, you may be beyond this issue but if you 
are just starting, watch for this one.  The install actually went fine but 
the system crashed on boot.  This had nothing to do with Speakup, it was 
straight Fedora 9 without Speakup.

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone have experience with Speakup, the doubletalk lt, and Dell
poweredge servers? The server is 2900III with Debian and/or Fedora os.
Do these work together well? I'm planning a server upgrade and didn't
wan't to assume if I could avoid it. Thank you in advance.

Dan
