Are you actually using a kernel new enough to have the ppp_generic stuff?
If not, trying doing an 'alias char-major-108 off'. The bit of code in pppd
that tries to make /dev/ppp before it opens it actually looks a bit hacky to
me. It would seem quite reasonable to expect users who are upgrading their
kernels by hand to read linux/Documentation/Changes (it is mentioned there,
I hope <g>) and make /dev/ppp themselves, and for everyone else the
distribution maintainers will do it in their package upgrade scripts.
