Subject:         Strange Multi-port SIO behaviour

I've noticed on systems with AST/4 port and Digi PC/4/8 cards that 
when a soft-reboot occurs (i.e. after crash/panic), the SIO ports are 
not all initialized properly, whereas after a shutdown -r or reboot, 
or cold boot the ports all init properly.  

I've looked at the sioprobe function in the sio.c module and there 
appears to be lots of instances where the programmer added 
EXTRA_DELAY?  Has anyone else seen this problem?

Appart from forcing the machine to reboot if all the sio ports are 
not detected, is there a clean way to make sioprobe find all the 
ports after a crash?
