I had been running a system on Centos 5.1 at INIT 3. I did the upgrade

Previously I would VNC into the unit when I needed to do admin stuff
with a GUI. Well I noticed that I was NOT getting GNOME via VNC since
the upgrade (worked before just fine with 5.1). So I tried an INIT 5
from the command line (always worked before), but the system seemed to
hang. Video was off.
I rebooted, went to INITTAB and changed init to 5 and rebooted.
Probably a tragic mistake.
Now on boot, right after UDEV gets an OK, the screen goes blank and the
drive stops turning.
......
For the rest, we first need
logfiles, /var/log/messages /var/log/boot.log and
maybe /var/log/Xorg.0.log
I just tried:
system-config-display from the command line.
With 5.1 this would start X so that I could set the proper display,
then exit X when I exited the display config. I had to use this, as
with 5.1 I had to do the install with the drive in another box. So I
KNOW this worked in 5.1
Now I just hang. And NOTHING is written to any log file.
Any advice?
Oh, and here is another 'hint'. Here is the vnc log:
