I have had the same problems with a similar machine recently. The kernel
coming with CentOS 5.1 worked, however no further update ever did. Only way
to make newer kernels work was to set up Compatible mode by BIOS, alas
performance suffers a lot.
I filed a bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467308, some
work at upstream seems to be underway. HTH
Ah, y Bienvenido!
