In case anyone is still interested, I finally got around to trying a
kernel.org 2.4.20 version. No problem. So it's not in the kernel
tree. I compiled it using the /boot/config-2.4.20(whatever) that
Redhat shipped, so it's not a module/option issue. The kernel was
signifigantly smaller than the redhat one as well by several hundred
K.
The problem was this, under the redhat kernel shipped on CD for redhat
9 and updated for redhat 8 my SO's computer locks up when she moves
her mouse after booting. It's a USB mouse. The system just freezes.
I haven't seen an Ooops or anything like that. The syslog is
forwarded over tcp to my system, so I may see it even with the lock
up.
I assume the problem is a lost interrupt or something along that line,
but this is just a gut feeling.
How should I contact redhat about this issue? It's going to be a
problem upgrading her system if she can't run a stock kernel. I tried
writing a friend of mine at Redhat Erik Troan, but his old redhat
address doesn't work any more.

Have you already updated your system to the latest errata kernel and
packages?
You could try to send an email to a Red Hat mailing list:

Yes, that's the one that has the problem.
