I don't know the exact way to solve your problem, however, I might be able
to point you in the right direction.
It looks like you are trying to load pieces of the kernel as modules, which
is something you have to explicitly setup when you build a custom kernel. In
particular, running 'make modules' and make install-modules' (note: this is
off the top of my head and these are probably NOT the proper make commands)
is mandatory if after performing the basic kernel build. From my limited
experience, it looks like you are not getting the modules set up properly.
A good step might be to take a look at the READMEs that come with the
kernel, found in the /Documentation directory. There is one about PPP and
about modules.
I hope what I have told you is accurate, useful, and not a repeat of what
you already knew.
Good Luck!

Subject: Custom Kernel Side Effect
I recently made a custom kernel so I could try out a commercial sound
driver. Prior to this I was successfully using the scripts in
/usr/doc/ppp* to connect to my ISP; These are from the stock
off the shelf out of the box Official Red Hat Installation cd-rom. I got a
bootable custom kernel from which I can connect to the internet but now I
can no longer connect to the internet if I boot from my original stock Red
Hat kernel.
I have tried loading the module with the stock Red Hat kernel but I get
the following error message:
insmod /lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o

This could be because the PPP kernel module is not loaded, or because the
kern

distr
ibution.

I want to connect using either kernel. What do I have to do?
Can someone explain what happened when I made a custom kernel: make
config, make dep, make clean, make boot, make modules, and make
modules_install, and ppp functionality was broken for the original
installation kernel.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Bill Salvino
