If you have another system running RedHat 8.0, you could modify the cd
images to use an updated kernel. There are various resources around the
internet that detail hacking anaconda (the redhat installer) and rolling
your own cdroms. Just replacing the kernel with a new one isn't too
hard.
Good luck.
