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.
