Looks like that, yes. It seems odd that it would detect sio0 when the serial ports are disabled in the BIOS. Did you re-enable them after install? Beyond that - I'm kind of out of my league. If your BIOS lets you change the IRQ for the serial port, you could try that. But someone more experienced with this could probably give you a better solution. -Chris
