I've seen this message already, and i'm sure i have answered it.

Why are you re-posting instead of reading the answer, or at least,
following up to your own article (so to keep it within the same
thread)?

Basically, there's something screwed with your interrupt
configuration.  Stray irq's are not supposed to happen for a
configured driver, they are generated by catch-all code inside
the ISA bus controller driver, thus a strong indication that
your IRQs never reach the sio driver.
