I'm sending this mesage to -isp to replay other mesages, ok?

I'm now using a ISA card whith 2 serial ports, it's working fine.

When I enable sio2 in 0x3e8 and irq 4 (setup comA is 0x3e8 and irq 4) I
get this:

/kernel: sio2: probe test 1 filed
/kernel: sio2: probe test 2 filed
/kernel: sio2: probe test 3 filed
/kernel: sio2: probe test 4 filed
/kernel: sio2: probe test 5 filed
/kernel: sio2: probe test 6 filed
/kernel: sio2: probe test 7 filed
/kernel: sio2: probe test 8 filed

whith sio0 and sio1 disabled in kernel.

But whithout ISA card I get only "teste 5" and "teste 8" failed.
