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.
