The same problem happened with a server after I upgrade the kernel to 2.6.9-42.0.2.
Another server, with similar configuration, boots normally on new kernel.
Both uses software RAID and LVM2, (/boot on md0 and Logical Volume on md1). Only differences between the servers is HD, on first have two Seagate (ST380013AS Rev: 3.18) 80 GB, another have two Western Digital (WDC WD2000JD-55H Rev: 08.0) 120 GB.
As it is a production server, I didn't make any test to investigate the problem, just boot on previous kernel.

Since I'm still happily running CentOS 4.3, I should probably keep my thoughts to myself, but that immediate kernel panic sure is a reminder of attempting to boot an i686 kernel with an i586 processor. I'd try to duplicate the reported symptom but my AMD K6-2 box has become an "organ transplant" donor strictly because of kernel requirements.
