I just upgraded one of my linux boxes to FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT since I can
kind of run the one application that was keeping me on linux (vmware).
Well I am having one hell of a time though.  I use this box as a NAT box
for my local lan, and for some reason I am getting massive errors like
the following.

sio0: 1 more silo overflow (total 1)
sio0: 1 more silo overflow (total 2)
sio0: 1 more silo overflow (total 3)
sio0: 1 more silo overflow (total 4)
sio0: 1 more silo overflow (total 5)
sio0: 1 more silo overflow (total 6)
sio0: 1 more silo overflow (total 7)

This brings my massive 28.8 connection down to about 1.0k second if I'm
lucky (these happen pretty frequently).  I was not having this problem
with this serial port under linux, so I'm at a loss to as what this
could be.  The kernel reports

sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa0
sio0: type 16550A

This is on a Dell Dimension XPS-T450 which is a P3-450 with 256 megs of
ram.  I have an Ati All-in-Wonder Pro video card, and a Dec 21041
Ethernet card in this box.  There is also a SB16 in there as well.  But
I can't see how any of those could be causing the problem.

Also this happens with the box sitting completely idle.  I can boot the
box and leave it sitting at the login prompt, and try and surf from one
of my other boxes and these messages just start popping up as data moves
through the modem.

Just for grins to make sure my cable and modem were all right, I plugged
them into my laptop which is running 3.4-STABLE and it worked great.  No
errors or anything.  Unfortunately I can't leave my laptop as my
gateway (nice $6k paper weight).

Thanks.

Greg
