Make sure that USB is working correctly.  I have been fighting with USB
on a laptop for a few days and it finally works.  I will lend a hand to
help since it was also a RH 7.1 install.  First install usbview (if not
already installed.  It is on the distro cd's) and see if the system
recognizes that you have USB controllers.  If so then it should also
tell if it sees the usb device off the controller.

That's the first step.  Email me if you want further help.
