Then you have been lucky. :-) For me, the startup stopped already before the CentOS splash screen. I guess something was wrong with the initrd.
If the disk holding the / partition needs a different driver than what you had during the install, you have to rebuild the initrd. Anaconda knows how to do that, kudzo can't. You can do it from a rescue-mode boot, but you may have to know the right module names.
