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

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       456727 Mar  2 19:18 initrd-2.4.9-31.img
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       461444 Mar  2 19:18 initrd-2.4.9-31smp.img
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Mar  2 19:09 kernel.h ->
kernel.h-2.4.9
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          409 Mar  2 19:09 kernel.h-2.4.9

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           20 Mar  2 19:18 module-info ->
module-info-2.4.9-31
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        13599 Feb 26 07:18 module-info-2.4.9-31
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        13599 Feb 26 07:08 module-info-2.4.9-31smp

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           22 Mar  2 19:31 System.map ->
System.map-2.4.9-31smp

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       438666 Feb 26 07:18 System.map-2.4.9-31
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       459334 Feb 26 07:08 System.map-2.4.9-31smp
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           16 Mar  2 19:18 vmlinuz ->
vmlinuz-2.4.9-31

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       975103 Feb 26 07:18 vmlinuz-2.4.9-31
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1049060 Feb 26 07:08 vmlinuz-2.4.9-31smp

and make sure your /boot/grub  setup file info matches the right boot image for
kernel 2.4.9-31.
I actally downgraded (rpm --oldpackage ) from kernel 2.4.16 rawhide to this
newest errata
kernel for stability and all is working ok so far.

Did you make a boot floppy for k2.4.9-31??? If so try it out. But make sure you
have the
latest  initscripts, mkinitrd and SysVinit or anything else 7.1 might need.  I'm
upgraded
to Enigma 7.2+erratas.
