In the kernel distributed with RHEL5 / CentOS 5.0, a driver was accidentally
omitted (CONFIG_FB_VESA). This makes the text mode display wonky on some
common hardware. IIRC, this was not corrected until the 5.1 release. Once
you upgrade to the current kernel, that problem should go away.
If you installed 5.0, you're missing a LOT of updates. The normal update
mechanism should bring your machine up to 5.1 unless you've taken action
to lock it to the 5.0 release.
