To use a vanilla 2.4 kernel (which does not support NPTL) with WBEL/RHEL 
only 
involves:

a) mv /lib/tls /lib/tls-dontuse  # this is essential for X
b) install the closed-source NVIDIA driver with --force-tls=classic

a) needs to be repeated after a glibc update, so you might want to exclude 
glibc
from being automatically updated by yum. I found b) to be necessary for 
k3b .

Been running a cluster of ~12 machines like that without any issues. (I 
use a 
vanilla kernel patched with Mosix, NFS, and ACPI_TIMER for Asus A7M266-D)
