Can you boot with the standard 2-floppy BL3.40 and mount a CD-ROM drive 
(not a burner, just a reader, no scsi modules yet)?

If I break linux I copy it back from another computer.

It sounds like one or more modules are not inserting.

Do you get an error message when you try to insert any of these modules? 
If one does not insert, the ones dependent on it will not insert. 
scsi_mod is needed for the other scsi modules.  Are you sure you have all 
the modules in /lib/modules/2.4.31?  If you do not, it will try to use a 
module for a different kernel and cause problems or just not work.

Or in /2.2.16 when you use that kernel?
