Subject: devfs/ppp oops on linux-2.6.0-test3 ?

On my gentoo system I call linux with the following commands:

image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=Gentoo26
root=/dev/hda5
append="devfs=mount apm=off"
read-only

And at startup time, I get the following oops:

PPP generic driver version 2.4.2
devfs_mk_cdev: could not append to parent for ppp
failed to register PPP device (-17)
PPP generic driver version 2.4.2
