Hi
I have some strange problems enabling the sio0 and sio1 at
boot time. 
If sio0 and sio1 devices are excluded out of the kernel 
it boots perfect. 

If I compile a kernel including sio0 and sio1 at boot time 
the screen gets a blackout but the computer boots properly.
I can then do a 'blind folded' login and do an 'X -probeonly'
this gives me my screen back

 have tried several setups in the configuration file like
giving the port adresses directelly but no difference.

#device         sio0    at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr
#device         sio1    at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr

device          sio0    at isa? port 0x3f8   tty irq 4 vector siointr
device          sio1    at isa? port 0x2f8   tty irq 3 vector siointr


If I do an dmesg it seems to me the sio:s are up 
and also located correctelly. see message below.

I would be very happy if someone could tell a solution to my
sio problem.

MY computer is an AST Bravo MS/T (AST BIOS 1.04) 16Mb
Mach 64 It has PnP but I have disabled it for the
COM:s and also for my 3com509/b (in ISA mode)
