Either

  alias tty-ldisc-3       ppp_async

is missing in your /etc/modules.conf, or you do not have ppp_async.o in
/lib/modules/$(uname -r).  Is your kernel compiled with
CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC?

In my case that alias line comes from /etc/modutils/ppp, which is
included in the 'ppp' package:

  alias /dev/ppp          ppp_generic
  alias char-major-108    ppp_generic
  alias tty-ldisc-3       ppp_async
  alias tty-ldisc-14      ppp_synctty
  alias ppp-compress-21   bsd_comp
  alias ppp-compress-24   ppp_deflate
  alias ppp-compress-26   ppp_deflate
