I have a weird situation with a new installation of CentOS 5.4 x64, on a SuperMicro X7SBI server. The server has a <a href=" http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon3000/3210/X7SBi.cfm" target="_new">SuperMicro X7SBi motherboard</a>, board ATI ES1000 and Core2Quad Q9505 CPU. The kernel is
When I login to the console, using a "17 CRT monitor (haven't tested others), the screen is off-center to the right. This happens as soon as the boot loaders gets to:
"waiting for driver initialization"
Below are asome photos to show what happens.

Other Linux distro's, including Fedora Core 11, FC 12, Ubuntu 9.10 and OpenFiler 2.3 works fine though. The only thing I can think of is the video driver, but I don't have X installed, so it can't be that. And I've reinstalled CentOS 3 times already thinking I did something wrong with the installation.
It's not the monitor, since I have another CentOS 5.4 server, running on an Intel motherboard that looks normal with this setup. They're connected to the same monitor via a KVM switch.

Sounds like a manual adjustment of the monitor. It may have something to do with it not probing correctly, with the KVM in the way.

Mark, not at all. The other 3 servers, running CentOS on different hardware works fine. I also has Fedora Core 11 on this particular server a few hours ago, which also worked fine. If you look at the first photo then you'll see the load booting fine, but then it shifts to the right. Adjusting the monitor makes no difference, and taking out the KVM has no effect either.

Just as another data point, I'm running CentOS 5.4 on hundreds of systems that have the "E" version of the MB (e.g., X7SBE) without any problem.
Check to see that you have the lastest (R1.3e??) BIOS on your MB.

I doubt very much that has anything to do it with.
Centos 5 is not Fedora 11 or whatever... It just may be 'that' server on 'that' monitor...

mmmm, lemme check and see. could this be the problem? I tried an LCD monitor, and bypassed the KVM, but the problem remains.

Adding a nofb statement from this page http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/rhel-ig-x8664-multi-en-4/ap-bootopts.html solved the problem :)
Thanx for all the help.

I generally cheat on things like this, setting the video to plain VESA and a generic monitor at 1024x768. We generally run servers in init 3, and do everything via ssh though this isn't critical after the initial installation.
