what you need to do is # genkernel --menuconfig kernel then make sure that speakup is selected conf.d/modules is for kernel modules marked "m" mostly, these are loaded when needed by programs or drivers as required, but sometimes you want the module loaded in advance -- in that case you list them in conf.d/modules
