Could it be that you are also having this issue :
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2912

Tim: I read the data for that Bug,  but on my CRT, after the boot begins, and it begins reporting the progress of the boot, the screen goes completely blank and there is no HD activity. After the "yum  update" yesterday, after I did the Reboot, it booted into the new Kernel, without any problem and I reported in the Happy Camper thread that it was a flawless upgrade. After the power down last night and power up this morning, the new Kernel will  not boot and I am now running on the previous Kernel. This is a Dell Dimension 2400 with a 2.6 GHz Celeron CPU and 512 MB of RAM.  I am now curious, after the "yum upgrade" on my daughters box finishes, if it will have the same issue. TIA, Lanny
