I was running the kernel-PAE-2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.i686 that came with the F13 alpha RC3 disc set.
Then I upgraded to the kernel-PAE-2.6.33-1.fc13.i686 from updates-test The first time I booted with that kernel and tried to start up the dialup networking it would not start. When I went into system->administration->network and looked at things and tried to re-create the dialup ppp connection it said this kernel does not support PPP. But now that I have rebooted again it suddenly all works.
I did put back the kernel-PAE-2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.i686 kernel from the install disc using rpm -ivh --force between the two bootups of kernel-PAE-2.6.33-1.fc13.i686 Guess I could remove the older kernel again and see if that breaks PPP again.
And now I again removed kernel-PAE-2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.i686 and booted kernel-PAE-2.6.33-1.fc13.i686 and dialup networking still works. So apparently there was some transient problem the first time I installed kernel-PAE-2.6.33-1.fc13.i686 and removed kernel-PAE-2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.i686
Sorry for the false alarm - but it really did fail the first time I came up on the new kernel.

Don't worry about it, it's rather odd though. Possibly there was some issue with depmod that prevented the ppp modules from getting loaded.
At any rate, I'm glad it works now.
