When I reboot Debian Sarge, kernel 2.6.7, ppp0 fails with this message: pppd[4989]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded. pppd[4989]: Linux kernel does not support PPPoE -- are you running 2.4.x? pppd[4989]: Exit.
After booting up, starting it also fails with the same message. I have to reconfigure ppp0 with #> pppoeconf
and then ppp0 starts and stops properly without any problems (with 'pon dsl-provider' and 'poff -a' commands respectively). What could be wrong?

^^^^
udev is your problem. With udev activated, modules can not be autoloaded on access like with devfs or the old-style /dev system. You need to add some drivers to /etc/modules, including ppp_generic, and probably pppoe support. Use lsmod after running pppoeconf to look for modules you need.

$> lsmod | grep ppp pppoe 14432 2 pppox 3592 1 pppoe ppp_generic 30068 6 pppoe,pppox slhc 7808 1 ppp_generic
So I put in /etc/modules the following? slhc ppp_generic pppox pppoe
Correct?
