Not only does speakup crash but the system once turned off cannot be started up again without use of the reset button. This amd system has about 14gb of ram and 8 cores on it. Something else that happens every so often is that the fans run really fast and sometimes not during gentoo installation. Could all of this be connected to smp? If so, on the boot line if I do gentoo speakup.synth=soft,nosmp is that the correct syntax? Use of read highlighted helps with mirrorselect and I may be wrong on this one but one of each kind of server is all that should be selected the second one of which is rsync.
