I'll download a minimal CentOS install now to try to help narrow down the
problem to CentOS or SipX.  Thanks for pointing out the potential install
parameters, if X runs during the install (which it did) I would assume that
the framebuffer would be alright.

Tony: I am well aware of how to change parameters and grub, and do not need
your help using Google.  I am attempting to help a project isolate an issue
that is affecting me, and potentially others.  This is me volunteering to
help a project I like in some small way, because I have a problem in front
of me that I can help debug.

Thanks.

AJ
