/usr/src/linux-2.4.2/Documentation/Changes says :

"Upgrade your pppd to at least version 2.4.0b1 for use with kernel 2.4.x."
ftp://linuxcare.com.au/pub/ppp/ppp-2.4.0.tar.gz

It's a small download, a quick compile, and it's fully backwards-combatible
with kernel 2.2.x.  Of course, you need to have a working net drop to download
it... hope you still have a 2.2.x kernel around, or something.

Next time, before you undertake a major kernel upgrade, have a look in that
Changes file referenced above.  It can spare you some pain.  HTH,
