I ran into a similar problem with the upgrade to 4.2 from 4.1, and help on this list pointed me to the following link:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1050
In my case, I had more than 1 hard drive, and the second hard drive wasn't usable. I had to remove, I believe, the dmraid package. You didn't mention whether you have 1 or more hard drives.

Hello CentOS,
I've just taken 2 old servers running CentOS 3.x, wiped it out, and installed CentOS 4.1
The systems seemed to work fine with CentOS 4.1, but when I proceeded to run yum -y update, all the RPM's (101) download and seem to install fine - however, upon reboot, partitions such as /usr/ and /var will not mount (ext3). These machines both use the Intel S875WP1 P4 Mainboards. Both use SATA Drives. One uses the promise controller (which on install seems to find a suitable driver).
Anyway, I've also tried installing directly from the CentOS 4.2 Server CD, same issue. Install goes fine, but bootup won't mount /var
Any idea what this is all about?
