I purchased a Startech Pex8S952 which uses the OXPCIe958 controller and is compatible with Linux.
https://www.startech.com/eu/Cards-Adapt ... T~PEX8S952
Centos only detects four out of the eight serial ports on the card and names them ttyS0 - 3.
I'm getting some strange output from dmesg during the boot process:
