Actually, not quite...you can use the source for that specific kernel from
RH, and "roll your own", but it has to be that version...or at least I was
unsuccessful at force-loading the modules.

I forget what the version is that TSM requires...I seem to recall
2.4.9-31, or some such.  Basically, if you just load RH 7.2, and pull the
updated kernel from RH's update site, you get what TSM requires.  If you
want to build your own kernel, you should be able to, but it has to be
built from that source tree.
