check your kernel ppp config options, for example, the default debian
kernel package for 2.4.19 looks like this

mrroach@flmrroach:~$ grep PPP /boot/config-2.4.19-686
CONFIG_PPP=m
CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK=y
CONFIG_PPP_FILTER=y
CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=m
CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=m
CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE=m
CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP=m
CONFIG_PPPOE=m
CONFIG_PPPOATM=m
CONFIG_COMX_PROTO_PPP=m
CONFIG_SYNCLINK_SYNCPPP=m
CONFIG_HDLC_PPP=y
CONFIG_WANPIPE_PPP=y
CONFIG_WANPIPE_MULTPPP=y
CONFIG_ISDN_PPP=y
CONFIG_ISDN_PPP_VJ=y
CONFIG_ISDN_PPP_BSDCOMP=m

if you have any 'N's where you should have 'M's or 'Y's that would be a
likely culprit.
