kernel issues with 8 STABLE

[Free BSD]

Dear List Members

I have recently installed 8 STABLE and built my custom kernel, but still 
getting these in my pciconf list

none0 at pci0:0:3:0:       class=0x078000 card=0x02761028 chip=0x2e148086 
rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
     device     = 'Intel Active Client Manager HECI Device 
(PCIVEN_8086&DEV_2E14&SUBSYS_3035103C&REV_03B1B68)'
     class      = simple comms


none1 at pci0:0:3:3:       class=0x070002 card=0x02761028 chip=0x2e178086 
rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
     device     = 'Intel PCI Serial Port (CC_0700)'
     class      = simple comms
     subclass   = UART


I have
device          uart            # Generic UART driver
in my custom kernel, so I would expect uart devices to be detected and 
usable -- however, they are not.

Also, even though I have custom keyboard in my kernel configuration, 
whenever I boot into single user mode I get US layout (it works fine 
when in multi-user mode).

I am using a Dell Optiplex 960 series machine.

I have googled as much as I can, and also visited the intel website for 
further information -- no luck so far. Any pointer to possible solution 
is highly appreciated

Thanks
