Just tried running a configuration on 5.6 with ext4 as the "/" partitition. I got the error that cannot boot ext4 partition. bummer.... I know this is just a boot issue and make the ext3 but I was disappointed.
Maybe 6.0 will have ext4 bootable.

Did you have a separate /boot partition that was ext3? I'm fairly sure grub doesn't support ext4 in CentOS 5. With /boot separate you should be able to make / ext4.

I installed new (no upgrade) SL6.0, and ext4 was an available selection for all partitions except swap and my existing ntfs drive.

Yes, GRUB has understood ext4 since grub-0.97-52 (June, 2009). The version 0.97-13.5 in CentOS 5.6 doesn't include that.
