Did you test the system before compiling you 2.4.3 kernel?  Did you
compile ppp as a module or into the kernel itself?  What is the output
of -
$ grep PPP /usr/src/linux/.config

Also  -
$ grep char-major-108 /etc/modules.conf 
alias char-major-108    ppp_generic

Shows ppp_generic isn't being loaded.  

That should give you something to work with.  Have to run to work.
