Changing keymap on Debian Squeeze

[Øyvind Lode - Forums]

I'm root.
Loadkeys works as expected when I test it on a running installation of Debian 5.0 "lenny" but not when I boot the espeakup enabled Squeeze image.
I loaded the US keymap on my running system and were able to find what key is mapped to what.
I then tried to get Speakup talking on the Squeeze installation but still noe audio.
So I can't get the Squeeze image to talk (software speech) and I can't load the correct keymap.
If I boot the same machine with Arch or even GRML I hear Speakup and loadkeys works as well of course.

load no must be done as root. Did you do that? gzip is useless. It was
only a piece of info to give you what should look the name of your
keyboard.
