It sounds as if Redhat is doing something screwy with your system, perhaps as part of their hardware detection programs. If it was the kernel I'd suspect you wouldn't even get to the second level setup message. Try out a Slackware boot/root disk combo. (available at ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/slackware-3.6) The boot disk bare.i should work for your system if you are using IDE. If this disk combo works then you could take the kernel off that boot floppy. If it still doesn't work then its a Redhat problem, try a different distribution.
