I want to add "sio3" to my kernel. Under Win98, COM4 is on IRQ03, COM2 too. COM1 -> IRQ04. There is no COM3. Windows says there are no conflicts and indeed, my modem (on COM4) works perfectly. How do I add sio3 (COM4) to my FreeBSD kernel? I always get the message "configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0". I tried to add sio2 too, but nope, doesn't work. The docs state that when you have a modem on COM4, you have to set the IRQ of the modem to 2, but what EXACTLY do they mean? And why should I have to change it (DO I have to change it anyway since everything works fine under Win98?) It seems the msg "configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0" is well-known, but there's doesn't seem to be a simple answer.

I have FreeBSD 3.2 and did nothing more than following the instructions in the handbook. I changed only 1 line in MYKERNEL (the sio3 line which is disabled by default). I tried setting IRQ2 and IRQ9, but that doesn't work.

Help! I need somebody, Help! Is there anybody... ?
