I installed an X10 controller card that uses COM3 as the device interface. The first time I installed it it had a problem (see the error messages during boot up below), but after recompiling the kernel, the messages went away and it worked very well. However, I had to re-install FreeBSD because I had partitioned the disk very badly, and now I can't get the card to work. No matter what I've tried, I still get the error messages. I already checked the serial card jumpers and the "/boot/device.hints" file, and everything looks fine. I am out of ideas, and I don't know when the IRQs are probed and what the whole thing about probed IRQs means. Any help will be welcome. sio2: configured irq 5 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio2: port may not be enabled sio2 at port 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 5 on isa0 sio2: type 16450 Ramiro Reinoso rreinoso@cfl.rr.comhelp
