If the boot image on ftp.dialnet.net didn't find your 7890, then either the
7890 was disabled in the machine's BIOS, or you accidentally booted the old
image and not the one from ftp.dialnet.net.  There is an easy way to tell,
the official RedHat boot image boots up as a 2.0.34 kernel, while the one on
ftp.dialnet.net is a 2.0.35 kernel.
