It's telling you that the IRQ itself is free, but there's probably something else wrong, like the port address is wrong. You can change this in your kernel config. First, I would disable or eliminate the sio devices that you don't need or aren't using. Second, when you boot up, go to the BIOS setup screen. See if you can find the address the modem is at, i.e., the port address, e.g. 0x2f8. Make sure this matches the address of sio2 (or whatever) in your kernel config. Or, you can change the port address at the boot-up screen by hitting any key, and then typing boot -c.
