There used to be a Red Hat banner Red Hat Linux at the top of display during kernel-BOOT boot. It is there in kernel 2.4.18-5 and 2.4.18-10. But 2.4.18-11, 2.4.18-12.5 and 2.4.18-14 only have a blur.
Come to think of it, i dont remember seeing it recently. I'll have to check a couple machines.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
