> Make sure your /boot images and files in /boot for 2.4.9-31 are like this:

Thanks for your reply, Peter, here is the essence of my actual /boot 
directory:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       264789 Mär  4 19:25 initrd-2.4.9-31.img
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Mär  3 14:39 kernel.h -> 
kernel.h-2.4.9
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          405 Mär  3 14:39 kernel.h-2.4.9
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           20 Mär  3 19:07 module-info -> 
module-info-2.4.9-31
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        13599 Jan 17 20:26 module-info-2.4.9-21
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        13599 Feb 26 13:18 module-info-2.4.9-31
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Mär  4 19:20 System.map -> 
System.map-2.4.9-31
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       438427 Jan 17 20:26 System.map-2.4.9-21
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       438666 Feb 26 13:18 System.map-2.4.9-31
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           16 Mär  3 19:07 vmlinuz -> 
vmlinuz-2.4.9-31
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       973701 Jan 17 20:26 vmlinuz-2.4.9-21
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       975103 Feb 26 13:18 vmlinuz-2.4.9-31

I NEVER have been using an initrd before, but, just in case, I made one - 
with no success. Booting kernel 2.4.9-31 hangs ...

The relevant part of my menu.list is:
title = RedHat 7.1 (hda5, 2.4.9-31)
root   = (hd0,4)
kernel = /vmlinuz-2.4.9-31 vga=normal hdb=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi root=/dev/hda6
initrd = /initrd-2.4.9-31.img


> Did you make a boot floppy for k2.4.9-31??? If so try it out. 

I did, "mkbootdisk 2.4.9-31". Funny enough, it booted right away!

> latest  initscripts, mkinitrd and SysVinit or anything else 7.1 might need

I think, I'm really up to date with all this stuff, so I'm really baffled.
