Hi everyone. Following the messages on this list requesting more |
2 |
testers for the latest Gentoo live DVD, I recently downloaded the most |
3 |
recent Gentoo AMD64 live DVD and have been experimenting with it. When |
4 |
booting into the DVD, Speakup works very well with my Dectalk USB used |
5 |
like a Dectalk Express, but Alsa doesn't load at all, so I currently |
6 |
have no way of using the live DVD with software speech, as I had |
7 |
originally hoped. I haven't copied down the exact messages, but the |
8 |
errors basically are that none of the Alsa modules such as SND-HDA-INTEL |
9 |
required for my system can be inserted due to disagreement about their |
10 |
versions. I booted the DVD with the following command: |
11 |
|
12 |
gentoo speakup.synth=dectlk nox |
13 |
|
14 |
I should point out that, even when I specified nox, the X-server still |
15 |
started. If anyone needs any more information about my system to |
16 |
identify what is causing these problems, please let me know. If anyone |
17 |
has any advice as to how I may get Alsa to load properly when I boot the |
18 |
DVD, I'd be very grateful to hear from you! I should mention that, even |
19 |
when I type /etc/init.d/asound restart at the Live DVD prompt, I get |
20 |
just the same errors as I did when booting the DVD. |

Many thanks, |
