Update on my problem.  T guaranty that the kernel and
modules agree i have completely replaced 2.4.20-xfs with a
clone of config-2.4.20-xfs found in the /boot directory.  It
took several hours due to the difference in kernel versions.
However, I have knoppix booting on a 2.4.21-pre5 kernel and
as I suspected - I am still seeing a 2.4.19-xfs INIT
version  2.78 modprobe: can not find
/lib/modules/2.4.19-xfs.  So all modules are not loaded,
even though they must match the kernel and have the same
file.o name.

I suspect that /sbin/init has 2.4.19 hard coded in the
binary.  So "uname -r"
fails to correctly find the correct operating system
release.

CLUE: On the 2.4.21-pre5 booted Knoppix.iso machine, at a
command line "#".
If I type "uname -r" - it shows  2.4.19-xfs.

Any idea where this might be set?
