My guess is the boot block is not being cleared properly by the RH install.
I would use fdisk in DOS (win95 or 98) to delete all partitions and fdisk /mbr to rewrite the master boot record. or I would use fdisk in Linux to delete all partitions and 'dd if=/dev/nul of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1' to write nuls to the first sector of hda (the first drive). Either of these will DELETE ALL DATA access on the drive in question. Richard.
