This doesn't mean anything. :)

Many internal modems are known to have a poor UART emulation.  You can
try to spot the problem by turning on flags 0x80 in the sio2 driver
(using boot -c), this will report the failing probe routine.  Then,
look into /sys/i386/isa/sio.c, maybe you can tweak some DELAY() value
to give your UART emulation a little more time to react.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
