Ok so this may sound a little odd but two things you should try if you're having problems:
1. When you first build your server, make sure you use the DEFAULT LAYOUT PARTITIONS for CentOS in the OVH manager. This has been the difference between bootable server after this process, and non-bootable server (for some strange reason).
2. When you install an OS using OVH's manager... It always uses a kernel xxxx-GRSec kernel which has security mods by OVH which can cause some problems.
You should change the kernel in:
/boot/grub/grub.conf
to a compatible one without grsec
and make sure that kernel is available in:
/boot/
then restart your server to apply the new kernel.
Once your up and running on this kernel, you can begin the process of re-installing using this VNC method.
!!!!!!!
IF YOU DO GET THIS WORKING, PLEASE POST WHICH OVH SERVER YOU GOT IT WORKING ON SO THAT WE CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND WHICH SERVERS THIS WILL WORK ON
