I ran into this problem before. I was running the 4.2 Release (no updates), and updated my ppp to some patched-version that I got from some website (can't remember which one). The patch said that it updated ppp-2.4.0 to support PPPoE. Once I did that and recompiled the kernel with all the Netgraph stuff, I'd get a kernel panic whenever I started ppp. I recently re-installed 4.2 Release, without adding the ppp patch, and my PPPoE now works fine. I have a 3COM 3C905, using the miibus device.
