If you use ghost to copy a Linux install, Ghost does not support EXT3 file systems, so ghost omits the journalling inode when it copies it. When the system boots from the new Hard Disk, it will fail because fstab specifies EXT3 filesystems.
To correct this set the ext3 entries in fstab to ext2, then ghost the disk, boot the new disk and run
tune2fs -J /dev/hda1...etc etc for each partition to re-create the journalling inode.
Then edit fstab and re-boot.
I have done this procedure many many times with no problems.

I know that selinux has added some extensions to the ext3 ... and you can't share the CentOS-2.1 and CentOS-4 ext3 partitions very well, so that might have an impact on ghost as well.
This is not a CentOS-4 only thing ... it is a SELINUX, LVM2, RHEL4 thing :)
