Have they even released the ES product?

The "Advanced Server" product was a hacked version of 7.2.  (2.4.9 
kernel.)

The "enterprise" code seems to be pretty conservative when it comes to 
versions.

Redhat 7.3 is running 2.4.18 with modifications.

Redhat 8.0 is running 2.4.18 as well.

Redhat 9 is a weird beast and runs 2.4.20 with a bunch of backports from 
2.5.x.  (Enough that it is kind of both and neither.)

If your code works for any of the stock 2.4 Redhat kernels, you should be 
OK.  I would especially test if you run with the Redhat 9 kernel, as it 
has the most knarly changes.  (nptl thread library and scheduler changes.)
