I saw pretty much the same thing: under 4.0 my PnP modem card ended up as /dev/sio4, whereas under 3.4 it had always appeared as /dev/sio2. The problem seems to be that userconfig (ie. boot -c) no-longer understands the 'pnp ...' command, so you can't override the PnP configuration of the card any more. My solution was to delete the lines: device sio2 at isa? disable port IO_COM3 irq 5 device sio3 at isa? disable port IO_COM4 irq 9 from the kernel config, after which the PnP autoconfiguration did the right thing. Examine your dmesg output: it will make it clear if you've got a dysfunctional /boot/kernel.conf script. Matthew -- Certe, Toto, sentio nos in Kansate non iam adesse.
