Default Serial Ports not found

Kernel 2.6.9
Slackware 10
Soyo KT400 MB with 2 internal ports.

After years, I decided to fire up an old external modem. Under kernel
2.4.2x, both ttyS0 and ttyS1 devices were created on boot and worked fine.

Under 2.6.9, udev does NOT seem to be picking up these. I have serial
support built into the kernel.

In /proc/devices, under device 4, which should be the serial ports, I get

4 /dev/vc/0
4 tty

So, udev IS getting the virtual and real console, just not the comm ports.

Any ideas?

Thx.
