Copy the kernel (most likely called "linux") to your RedHat /boot
partition and add a stanza like you did for Mandrake.

That is a generic error saying "It didn't work" - you need to provide the
real error message, which should be contained in the lines above these
ones.
 
What are you using to configure X?
XF86Setup is the easiest to use, but may not work with all chipsets.
"apt-get install xf86setup" if you want to try it.

Otherwise, try "xf86config" which is the old text-based way to configure X
