big problem, please help, speakup and debian

Are you saying that you are running a stock debian kernel from lenny 
(2.6.26) and you've installed the 2.6.26 speakup-modules package and it 
still hangs?  That is odd.

I'd reinstall the speakup-modules package.

# apt-get install --reinstall speakup-modules-2.6.26-amd64

Of course, you might have to chage the amd64 part to 686 or whatever to 
match your kernel.

Hi.
This doesnt help. it compiles the 3.0 version that belongs to that
2.6.26-2-686 kernel even though I'm running the older one. 2.6.26-1-686.
These modules compiles for both the kernels, and when I load any of them,
linux hangs, and stops responding.
what the f... is this!

I thought there were speakup modules for squeeze in apt... Anyway if
there isn't for some reason there is always the speakup-source package
you can revert to for compiling speakup for your debian kernel. I can't
remember if you can use module-assistant for speakup, if you can it
should be as simple as running the command:
module-assistant a-i speakup
While running the kernel you want to compile against. I think there is
an option for compiling it against a kernel other than the running
kernel but can't remember it now.
