The ppp stuff must be compiled as a module - did you do this?

If you did, make sure that you have the module utilities (depmod,
insmod, rmmod, modprobe) and check that the modules dependencies
file is up to date and the module has been installed in the proper
directory.

Check the files /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ppp.txt
and /usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt for more info.
