Will you be changing  the CPU?  and do you use the generic kernel as
provided by redhat?
I have brought up redhat after a moterboard and CPU change just fine.
It only required a little modification.  You will have to reconfigure
X after the system comes up  so you may want to make sure that you
boot into runlevel 3.
