Looks like you compiled your own 2.2 kernel and made a few minor mistakes.

I assume by our lines below that you compiled ppp directly into the
kernel, not a s module.  Did you have old modules that you forgot to
remove

The following lines in your /etc/conf.modules should make the above 3
messages go away:

alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 off

Did you compile in support for the above character sets when compiling
your kernel?

If you compiled the 2.2.4 kernel twice, I suspect you forgot to remove
the old modules before doing the make modules_install command.
