CentOS 3 is probably a better choice there.

This is a bug in that kernel version. Make sure you have at least
2.4.20-18.7. You don't need to go all the way to 2.6.x. The latest RHL9
kernel 2.4.20-46.9.legacy.

And, although I haven't specifically tested, I'd be shocked if the
RHEL3/CentOS 3 kernel (kernel-2.4.21-47.0.1.EL) didn't have the problem
fixed as well. That may or may not work without modification on RHL9 -- I
wouldn't bother to try that route though and instead would just install
CentOS.

Why RHEL3, though? Wouldn't you want RHEL4?
