I suspect that console output is going elsewhere, maybe to a serial console. That way it could well be that the machine is doing something but you just can not see it.
My first bet would have been a fsck
However, I did not find in /var/log/messages any instance of fsck checks during loading.
You will never find fscks in /var/log/messages.
fsck happens too early in the boot process, syslog is not yet running. There is a mechanism to log this early stuff though. What you could have seen at the console while booting is also in /var/log/boot.log. With CentOS 6 this is working.
Sadly, boot.log on my CentOS 5 machines is empty and so will be yours. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223446
