    I am trying to get a Boca 8 port serial card running under 4.8-
    STABLE. dmesg doesn't see the serial ports at all.

    I've added the following to my kernel, compiled it, and
    installed:

    options COM_MULTIPORT #code for some cards with
    shared IRQs
    device sio4 at isa? port 0x100 flags 0xb05
    device sio5 at isa? port 0x108 flags 0xb05
    device sio6 at isa? port 0x110 flags 0xb05
    device sio7 at isa? port 0x118 flags 0xb05
    device sio8 at isa? port 0x120 flags 0xb05
    device sio9 at isa? port 0x128 flags 0xb05
    device sio10 at isa? port 0x130 flags 0xb05
    device sio11 at isa? port 0x138 flags 0xb05 irq 10

    With regards to devices:

    $ ls /dev/sio*
    ls: /dev/sio*: No such file or directory

    I haven't done any MAKDEVs. Is that necessary. I thought not
    because I'm seeing this:

    sio0: configured irq 4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
    sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
    sio0: type 8250
    sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0

    Clues please?

    Here's the card:
