Why in the world would you want to install a version of Red Hat that
is not current?

I'm sure it did, with the *ancient* kernel that shipped with Red Hat
7.2.  Upgrading to an errata kernel would solve the problem nicely as
well.

I'm going to play BOFH here.  I won't tell you how to "fix" a problem
that you shouldn't be having.  Go download Red Hat 7.3 and upgrade (or
reinstall).

    ftp://ftp.luci.org/pub/redhat/linux/7.3/en/iso/i386/

Or at the *very* least update your system.  You don't want an
un-patched Red Hat 7.2 system on the Internet.  (For that matter, you
don't want an un-patched Red Hat 7.3 system or anything else
un-patched on the Internet.)
