I am using system 7.0.1, I downloaded it from the apple ftp server.
I installed also mode 32 which I got from ftp.macbsd.com
I have 8 mega RAM too.

I think you should not have any problem in installing system 7 on SE/30, 
it runs properly also with 7.5.3. Maybe try to make a clean install. You 
can do this by hiding the finder file which is in the system folder 
(e.g. move it into the preference folder), in this 
way the OS does not recognize the system folder anymore (rename it also) 
and the installer creates a new system folder. The you have to drag to 
the new folder all the extensions and control panel software, and 
prefrences if you want, which you were using with the old system.

The 'special sever' I was talking about is a special version of the 
X-windows server which is properly configured for the SE/30 (see the FAQ 
on  http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/mac68k/index.html)
