Hi, |
| 2 |
Well, I had success over the weekend. I ended up loading kernel |
| 3 |
2.4.26-gentoo-r9 and using genkernel to create the initrd file. I still |
| 4 |
need to manually intervene while booting (insmod usb-storage, echo "scsi |
| 5 |
add-single-device 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi, exit, /dev/sda1), but at least |
| 6 |
it will the mount /dev/sda1 as root and continue the boot process to |
| 7 |
completion! |
| 8 |
|

What do I need to do to configure sound? I assume that i'll need to put all |
| 10 |
the sound modules into modules.autoload.d and run modules-update? Do I need |
| 11 |
to emerge a mixer and the like? If so, what all packages will I need? I |
| 12 |
assume that my config is oss, since alsa wasn't a config option for the |
| 13 |
2.4.26 kernel. Will flite work with oss? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
In summary, my question is basically where do I go from here? After sound |
| 16 |
is functional, I expect to |
| 17 |
emerge flite |
| 18 |
emerge speechd-up |
| 19 |
Will things work properly if I then |
| 20 |
rc-update add flite default |
| 21 |
rc-update add speechd-up default |
| 22 |
or is it more complex/complicated than that? All pointers welcome! |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I've found the linuxrc file and I hope to mod it so that the machine will |
| 25 |
come up with no manual intervention. This is particularly important since I |
| 26 |
don't expect software speech to come up until late in the boot process, is |
| 27 |
this correct? In particular, is software speech available only after root |
| 28 |
is mounted? |
