I need some help with finding out what I might be over looking trying to load Red Hat Linux 7.3

Which looks to me like it was released 2002-04-19 which is now more than 2.5 years old. That's a lot in dog-years!

on a Dell Poweredge 1850. It has a 2.80 GHz Processor, a 300GB Seagate Cheetah HD, and 8192MB of ECC DDR2 memory.

Some of the technology in a Dell 1850 didn't exist in April 2002. Try installing a current Linux kernel system.

The current, most direct logical descendant of Red Hat 7.3 is probably Fedora Core 4, although you may prefer RHEL or some other distribution for a server like the 1850.
