Look closely at the dmesg line, note what device sio0 is claiming to be

0x10 on acpi0
This is one of the drawbacks to using ACPI.
Could you try uart(4) instead. It seems quite excessive to have to
disable ACPI just to get a serial port working. I'd like to know
if this is related to the sio(4) driver or something else.
Just a note that I get exactly the same issues with my BIOS/ACPI but *my
serial port works*. I have not needed to disable ACPI nor to use
uart(4). The sio0 line has an IRQ associated with it (4) and I think if
there were really a problem there would be no IRQ here.
IIRC, the issue is something to do with ACPI presenting the serial ports
backwards wrt the BIOS. I know I got concerned about this when I first
encountered it, and tried stuff to swap the two ports I have over, but
nothing I did made the initial "ACPI probed irqs" error go away so I
just tried the serial port and it worked.
