Sometimes the bootlog msgs do not give all the info it can.
Turn on verbose bootlog msgs.
Change /boot/loader.conf  add     boot_verbose="YES"
Review verbose log for anything which mite give a hint as
to what is happening.

The sio.c file has 2 different static tables in it.
Verify that you added your statement to correct table.
The static PCI table and not the static isa table.

If you are not using com1 and com2 ports on the PC, then deactivate
them in the bios so their irq's will be avabile for assingment
by bios to other devices. In the FBSD kernel source, comment
out sio1 through sio3 as showen below. Device sio0 has to
remain as it is the device that does the spawning of the pci
modem to a sio device.

# deactivate all sio devices so internial modems can dynamicly use them
# Serial (COM) ports
device		sio0	at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4
#device		sio1	at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3
#device		sio2	at isa? disable port IO_COM3 irq 5
#device		sio3	at isa? disable port IO_COM4 irq 9

Most likely source of problem is your PC hardware bios.
Many motherboard mfgs share irq between the AGP video slot
and the first pic slot. Try modem card in different pci slot.
Turn off PNP support in  bios if you can. Some bios allow you
to assign irq to each pci slot, try this if you can.
When booting any PC it performs a hardware post process after
which the PC should display a summary containing the results of
the irq assignments for each device. Move things around until
modem is not shareing it's irq. If you are not getting the post
summary display get motherboard manual and figure out how to
activate it. IBM and HP PC turn off the display as default
because their normal customers do not know how to configure the
bios so they hid it from them. But you can turn it on.

Try these things one at a time and report back on the outcome please.

i added data which i get from pciconf -vl into sio.c file and
recompiled the kernel. Still the same problems. No change.
Any idea?
