X-Mailer: VM 6.22 under Emacs 19.34.3 Sender: owner-freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've had the same thing happen with two (probably identical) motherboards that I've bought recently. The kernel (even if I enable all 4 sio's) is unable to recognise the second motherboard serial port (even if I move it around from com2, com3 or com4). The kernel says: sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 not found at 0x2f8 sio2 not found at 0x3e8 sio3 not found at 0x2e8 The strange thing is, booting from a DOS floppy and running telix recognises the serial port properly and happily chats to a connected modem. I am confused now.
