We usually recommend a vanilla install of the Operating System (without updates) prior to OSCAR installation - you can update the server after the fact and please let us know if you run into issues.
Currently OSCAR 4.1 does not support the x86_64 version of RHEL3 (or 4), our next release will support it. If you are interested in testing it, you can either check code out of our SVN repository or d/l the nightly tarball available via our website.
