Hi Chris,
kernel 2.4.18-27.8.0
I'll try to look if there are any later versions available from RedHat
for RedHat8. Really don't want to compile it from sources, since it's  a
live box and is also geographically not here (if anything will go wrong
after reboot - I'll spend ages on the telephone explaining support guys
what to do to boot it into old kernel..) 
At the time of installation of this box it was the latest stable
release.
Best regards,
Denis.
