IIRC, every time I have actually installed CentOS from the DVD/CD, it goes into the pseudo-graphical text mode for disk test, language and keyboard, and /then/ it starts up the X server to do the rest. That's how I remember it worked when I installed 4.4 and then 5.0 on my home desktop, 5.1 on my laptop (and once on my aux desktop at home) and 5.2 here at work.... Cheers. mhr
