You need a specific, updated version of pppd to work with kernels 2.4.x.
All the updated/required packages are detailed in the "changes" (or is
it "Changes") file included with the kernel.

Before compiling the 2.4.1 kernel I used apt-get dist-upgrade to
install all the available upgrades in the stable distribution,. I then
checked against the list in changes and found that I still had only
modutils 2.3.11-13.1. I used apt-get install modutils to get version
2.4.1-2. Still dpkg -l shows that I still have only ppp 2.3.11-1.4. I
will try getting ppp 2.4.0 from the unstable distribution.
I am a little nervous about this - I really want to use some of the
features of 2.4 but why should I have to obtain packages from the
unstable distribution for a stable kernel distribution?
