Then you have been lucky. :-) For me, the startup stopped already before the CentOS splash screen. I guess something was wrong with the initrd.
Maybe, I always use a legacy custom setup for the partitions with a /boot, swap, / and a /home, install and set it up as I want it, and then clone and deploy the image. Has worked so far.
Things are simpler that way IMO, even if I maybe miss some advantages with LVM-groups and whatnot.
Anyway, I saw afterwards you were using a md0-device, ie raid. That may complicate things. 8-}
