I'm not at a RH72 console right now (I have a RH62 in front of me), but this is the possible problem: the init script for vncserver checks the file /etc/sysconfig/vncserver to see the user/display pairs to be started.
It happens that each vnc instance sets a temporary file /tmp/.X11-unix/X1, X2, X3... which functions as a lock for that display number. When you reboot, the old temporary file is still there (it is not deleted on shutdown -- I think this is a bug). This breaks the init script, because it tries to connect a new vncserver to the locked display number (this lock is wrong, because the server rebooted, but the lock is still there). Try to edit the /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver script and include, before anything else, a line rm -f /tmp/.X11-unix/X* and see if this solves the problem. The file X0 (X-zero) belongs to the main X server and I think it is correctly deleted when you logoff from X or reboot your machine; but X1, X2,... usually remain there... I have this problem with RH62 too, but here I have a manual script to start the vncs... I'm writing on memory, so I'm not sure if the file names above are totally correct. But I think you can figure the right ones.
