No no. That won't help modprobe at all. You need to find what char major
108 represents, and add a line to modules.conf or conf.modules). If it
really is ppp, then:
alias char-major-108 ppp

Well as I said, it isn't a /dev file at all. You have ppp compiled as a
module. If modprobe complains about not finding a module, it either means
it isn't there, or doesn't have an alias to it. Have a look at the kernel
source to see how requests for modules are made.
