I need an old RedHat 7.3 system that specifically has kernel

I've got the RedHat iso, etc. and everything is installed.
So, where do I get the RPM to pull it forward nowadays?
Normally this wouldn't be too hard... the Fedora Legacy project would
have been responsible, and even though they've shut down there are a
number of mirrors which still have their packages.
Interestingly, it does not appear that any of the mirrors carry the
package you want. 7.3 was released with 2.4.18-3, which is readily
available. 2.4.18-10 came from RedHat some short time later (http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-158.html
), but was then completely supplanted by a forklift upgrade to 2.4.20
(very unusual) due to a root exploit (http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-417.html
). The kernels bracketing 2.4.18-10 exist, but my guess is that for
some reason RedHat actually deleted the -10 kernel package from its
repository entirely, subsequently wiping it from other mirrors. I
can't even find a .src.rpm.
What are you trying to do that's so sensitive to the -10 that it won't
accept -3 or a recompile against the updated 2.4.20 kernel? Binary
drivers?
