OK, I can see at least two problems. It appears from your dmesg that
your have both a lpt0 and the soundblaster working on irq7. That's not
possible, you can't share interrupts like that. Secondly, from what you
say above, your modem is on COM3, right? That's really a useless
description. I'm not being sarcastic, I'm trying to tell you that you
have to set the sio numbers using two _real_ values: an irq, and an
ioaddr. Go back to your documentation on your Sportster and find out
what ioaddr and irq are being used, then boot with the -c flag, and set
those values for sio2.
Keep in mind that you can't share interrupts. It can be done, but only
on cards that have the interrupt sharing hardware onboard, because the AT
bus doesn't allow it. My async card has 8 UARTS on it, and all of the
irqs are being shared oncard, but I still can't share interrupts outside
of that card. Examine your system carefully, that chances are extremely
high that you are illegally sharing either an interrupt or an ioaddr.
