I don't understand that paragraph at all. From what you said previously, it
seemed you could not boot a 2.4 kernel off the hard drive. Booting 2.2 from
floppy does _not_ prove the 2.4 kernel is at fault...

What 'boot disk'? Are you saying you're booting from floppy to chain the OS
loader in hda2? What actually happens when you boot Linux?

I'm not aware of floppies having 'go faster bits' :)
