Mod probe can't find module ppp0

All

I am facing a problem, I will explain what happenned:
1. I was on the box... saw a lot of defunct processes.
2. I tried to do an ls on /root (and many other dirs)... got the message "Segmentation fault".
3. Rebooted the box
4. At bootup I noted that I was not getting the screen that shows the kernel version that is being loaded up. (2.4.18.. . that comes with Redhat Linux 7.3)
5. Then it got into the bootup process... and spat out a lot of messages (about 200 odd) saying:
modprobe: modprobe: can't locate module block-major-##
6. It went into runlevel 3 where it stopped. I did a 'ctrl+c'
7. This quickly scrolled down and it went further in the boot up process loaded all file systems, and after syncing the hw clock with the system clock it stopped after giving the message:
modprobe: modprobe: can't locate module ppp0
8. After this it hung and is not proceeding further.

Any help will be appreciated!!

Regards

KS
