Not sure about the ppp0 message since I haven't seen that message on my
system (potato/2.2.13), but here is what you can do about the
char-major-108 thing:

Try putting the line "alias char-major-108 ppp" into
/etc/modutils/aliases and running 'update-modules' then 'depmod -a' to
see if that solves the problem. (modprobe reads from /etc/modules.conf,
which is generated from /etc/modutils/* by update-modules, to determine
where to find modules.)

That fixed it for me.

HTH,
