Did you mean dmesg?  If so, you should see something like:

PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel allocation)
PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 1995 Caldera, Inc.
PPP line discipline registered.

Are you invoking PPP as root?  This came up quite recently and does 
actually not necessarily indicate a problem with the kernel, but possibly
with permissions.

On the other hand, possibly PPP support has not been compiled into your
kernel. You can check /usr/src/linux/.config for CONFIG_PPP=y.
