Maybe a silly question, but have you power cycled (turn computer completely off then back on) the machine between running OpenBSD and running CentOS? If you haven't tried a power cycle and it works, that won't solve what the problem is but might at least allow you to run CentOS again. I have seen strange things happen in the past when switching between OSes but that was a very long time ago. -- John Merriam
