This is the relevant portion (i think) from my kernel config for 2.4.19
For more detailed help, download the rp-pppoe sources for kernel 2.4.x from www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe and read the doc/KERNEL-MODE-PPPOE after you untar it (version 3.5 rp-pppoe at least)... basically he outlines the kernel config options you will need and recommends installing ppp fresh from source. Let me know if you still have problems and I will try to help. Are you using "make menuconfig" to do your kernel options selection?
