Thanks,
         For me, sio on the motherboard generally has not been an 
issue. However, with serial PCI cards, I do see a lot of overflows 
and with a bit of cable plugging and unplugging, the box will live 
lock and need a reboot.

I noticed on current, if you compile both sio and uart in, sio will 
be used for the onboard devices, but uart for puc devices
