The best way to fix the problem is to downgrade to kernel 2.2.16-22 from RedHat 7.0. With that your problem should go away, it is a problem with kernel 2.4 not RedHat 7.1.. A quick search on deja and you will find lots of good information on the problem. Also check to see if it's been fixed post kernel 2.4.2 as that is a very old kernel now. You can get kernel 2.2.16-22 (or 2.2.18 I think is the latest 7.0 update) from rpmfind.net or ftp.redhat.com.
