Maybe you are not booting the proper kernel. Try to do the following:
dmesg | grep "PPP"
If it return something, you have ppp in the kernel. You are making
something bad in the build/installation of the kernel.
Do 'lsmod'. If you notice that ppp is there is a problem about modules. Check
into /lib/modules/<kernel version> and delete the ppp.o. Perhaps you
don't have enabled ppp as a module, but kmod or kerneld could be able
to load any older module from there.
