I'm currently busy sinking my teeth into the CentOS docs, to get a firmer grasp of the Red Hat way to do things. This will take me a few days, maybe weeks. If not months. Right now for example, I have to rebuild my kernel - to enable one option (VESA) and disable one other (SMP, which causes the system to freeze with the rt61 driver). I know how to do this with Slackware and Debian, but I want to do it the proper Red Hat way with CentOS, which is essentially new to me.
don't recompile your kernel to disable SMP :) if you don't already have the uniprocessor kernel installed by default, install it:
# yum install kernel-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5
then edit /etc/grub.conf to make that kernel the default, then reboot.
