Debian installation with a hardware synth for speakup

[John G. Heim]

If I recall, your original question was why did the apollo  synth work 
for installation but not once the system was up and running, right? I 
think that may be because the stock debian kernel has a bug that causes 
serial synths to fail.  For some reason, they fixed it in the installer 
  but not for the stock kernels.
