According to /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt char major 108 is:
----------------
108 char        Device independent PPP interface
                  0 = /dev/ppp          Device independent PPP interface
----------------

This one might be the ppp module, but I doubt pppd would get this far
without the ppp module. Maybe you just need to create /dev/ppp? Show us the
output of:
   ls -l /dev/ppp*


> Jul 21 16:12:07 jango modprobe: can't locate module char-major-5

And char major 5
----------------
char        Alternate TTY devices
                  0 = /dev/tty          Current TTY device
                  1 = /dev/console      System console
                  2 = /dev/ptmx         PTY master multiplex
                 64 = /dev/cua0         Callout device for ttyS0
                    ...
                255 = /dev/cua191       Callout device for ttyS191
----------------

I've got no idea what module this one corresponds. Maybe the device files
just need to be created. But if they don't exist I doubt that box will be
any use to you.

Kerneld is trying to install the modules with those names. Usually you need
aliases in /etc/conf.modules or in /etc/modutils/ somewhere.

Try the documentation of the ppp module. Check
/usr/doc/linux/Documentation/net/ppp
