Looks like a SELinux problem. Try booting in rescue mode, mount root, and do a
touch /mnt/sysimage/.autorelabel
and a reboot.

Here's a update: I. I did what Mogens suggested: a. reboot into rescue mode with livecd b. mount root partition c. run 'touch /mnt/sysimage/.autorelabel d. reboot and I was able to login successfully - thank you all for your suggestions
II. However, for curiosity sake, I did the following: a. fresh install of CentOS x86 5.3 install w/ /dev/hda1 swap /dev/hda2 /boot /dev/hda3 /home /dev/hda5 / this system booted up fine b. migrate the /dev/hda system to /dev/sda using the rescue livecd with the following partition /dev/sda1 swap /dev/sda2 / c. edit grub, fstab, mtab, and run grub d. reboot the new system
e. grub cannot find my kernel image BUT f. the migration is successful if the partition of /dev/sda mirrors the table setup for /dev/hda
I don't know why the partition setup has to mirror the original, but I wanted to share this info with the community. I assume all this is SELinux related. Thanks again.
