I don't think so. You can try swapping the hints for sio0 and sio1 and
seeing if
sio1 suddenly shows up as working and valid. If so, then the changes in 8 to
bind
unit numbers using hints might work for you to get COM1 back as sio0.
Few days ago I decided to upgrade to 8.2-STABLE,
The _STA method is used to query a device's status, and a status of 0 means
that the device is disabled. I believe that this means that when you have
SOL enabled (SOLE?) that COM1 is marked inactive so the OS ignores the device.
Good catch, thanks! I had a feeling, that it must be caused by
1) Add a printf to sioprobe() in sys/dev/sio/sio.c to output an error message
when it fails to allocate a SYS_RES_IOPORT device at the very beginning.
Done. I'll need to wait until next reboot - it's a production box, so it has to
be done in night hours.
2) Capture 'acpidump -d' output and
Hmm, I don't see it even trying to probe the COM1 device. I'll have to wait
until you get a verbose dmesg to investigate further I'm afraid. :(
I've got verbose dmesg now: http://www.frasunek.com/tmp/dmesg-verb.txt

Do you have any hints for sio* in /boot/device.hints?
My /boot/device.hints are unmodified:
[root@kalina-gw ~]# grep sio /boot/device.hints
hint.sio.0.at=isa
Hmm, can you post the output of 'devinfo -vr' and a verbose dmesg at a URL?
Devinfo output is here: http://www.frasunek.com/tmp/devinfo.txt
I'll post verbose dmesg after next reboot, which is already scheduled on sunday
morning.

Hmm, that unknown device is your COM1. Do you have a copy of your current
dmesg available? I'm curious if sio0 failed to probe the UAR1 device and
then
later attached to UAR2.
Sure, this is my non-verbose dmesg: http://www.frasunek.com/tmp/dmesg.txt

Hello,
I'm struggling with enabling serial console on Intel SR1630GP server
platform and FreeBSD 7.4.
