I great oppty for a Live CD. I have found Gentoo does a great job 
detecting hardware (as does Knoppix). Boot Gentoo from a CD and then 
mount your hard drive and access your files. If you are sure it's just  
a drivers issue (I am not, but I am not expert by any means) you can 
check Gentoo's proc/sys etc and get great clues (enough clues?) to 
rebuild your redhat to bootable/recoverable.
