this looks like a problem with version of the modules
vs. version of the kernel.

I usuallay check that /usr/src/linux is really a symlink to
the source directory of the currently running kernel.

If unshure I about the status of it I do the full build again ( make dep; 
make bzImage ; make modules; make_modules_install ; depmod -a ; and  aquainting 
lilo with the new image)

My personal experence with 2.2.17 is that after un-tarring a fresh
tar-ball of kernel source and doing "make kernel" with ppp-2.3.11
I only had to adjust if_ppp.h ( as said in section 7.3.5 in the RedHat Howto).

I think's covered
