Hi,

On a minimal (e. g. without X) server install, one of the first things I
do is add 'vga=788' to the 'kernel' line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, so I
can use the framebuffer in 800x600 mode and have a better readability in
console mode.

However, I tried this on my minimal CentOS 5 install, and right after
GRUB, the screen just blanks. I add that this (test) machine ran maybe a
dozen other distros before, and the 'vga=788' line always did the trick.

Any suggestions?

Yep, wait for centos 5.1 to be released. This was an upstream
bug/oversight and they did not include FB_VESA support in the 5.1
kernel. A bug has been filed upstream and is available for your
viewing pleasure at
