Okay, so I tried to CentOS 6.3 minimal install. The issue remains with a normal install, however CentOS also has a low-end video mode, and that install works just fine.
It might be worth considering, if simple enough, to add an option to SipX to install CentOS in a low video mode. For now I can adjust GRUB, but something to consider for future releases.
