speakup.synth= vs modprobe

[Alex Snow]

You probably have to put the modules into your initrd...I'm not 
familiar with this as I use slackware which doesn't use 
initrds...though looking at mkinitrd I think it is should help. THen 
you have to find a way for the startup script to detect the 
speakup.synth param and load the correct module.
