I did not recognize your machine model, but can offer this experience: 
out of the box, the default configuration of Red Hat 7.2 would not load 
on a intel 486 machine I have.  I believe you can force it to work by 
installing the correct kernel...rpm files, which are provided.  But, I 
did not go to that trouble as I found the standard configuration of 
Slackware 8.0 loaded and ran without messing with it.

I am not using any graphics on the machine, but it does fine otherwise.
