I have installed RH7.3 on a Dell Inspiron Laptop 2650 with a mobile 845MZ chipset and I also custom compiled the kernel with built-in drivers. It works fine although kernel confesses that it can not recognize the chipset and runs it as PIIX. Unfortunately ACPI does not work and some advanced features of 845MZ are not accessible. However audio is alright (AC97) and so is Nvidia 2 working of AGP bus and even winmodem works fine with beta drivers.
My resolution is that on reasonably standard motherboards there should be no problem with 845 chipsets when using RH7.3, however the ones off the mainstream may have some glitches that should be overcome when the full 845 support becomes available.

I've tried 7.3 and it still doesn't support the 845G chipset yet.
