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.
