As in the Red Hat version released and updated from 2000 through 2003?

Red Hat 7.3, which was the last 7.x release, ran the 2.4.18 kernel. 
You can probably build and run the latest 2.4 kernel release 
(2.4.37.10) if you have access to the .config file used to build the 
Red Hat kernel.

Red Hat's kernels were often highly patched, however, so it wouldn't 
surprise me to discover that some bit of functionality is missing when 
you build a stock kernel.
