Sounds like the module isn't loaded early enough at boot time. On Debian, there is /etc/modules which lists modules which should be forced to load at boot time. I couldn't find such a file on our CentOS 5 systems and couldn't find an equivalent "insmod" anywhere in the init scripts. Maybe you can just force an insmod in the pppd configs or init script as a work around until you find the right way.
