2.4.9 ppp woes



Hi all,
 
I've just installed Woody on Linux box which I've been meaning to reinstall for ages (I used Debian 1.3.1 and 2.0 some time ago, but had been using RH6 until now); this reinstall coincided with the installation of ADSL in my flat -- the new box is intended to handle that connection, provide a few services, and be a samba logon server for my home LAN.
 
After problems with kernel 2.4.8 (failing to recognize an IDE drive), I installed 2.4.9 from source.
 
However, when I run PPPD (I've applied the PPPoATM patches, and compiled a patched version of PPPD 2.4.0), it complains that PPP_GENERIC is not installed in my kernel. It is. I've selected, infact, every single PPP option (as a test), and have tried both with them as modules (and then physically loaded them by hand), and directly in the kernel.
 
Has anyone else had problems with PPP under 2.4.9, or with the PPPoATM patch(es), or does anyone have any suggestions? I've run out of ideas.
 
 
Danke,
 
Matt.
