I once had a similar problem. After some time I found out that kerneld
was not started, so the ppp module would not load automatically. The
ppp module could be loaded manually, however. I finally solved it by
removing any text files from /lib/modules/2.0.?? and then running
depmod.

Hope this is of any use,
