Thanks, Les, Robert et al. - good tips.
I did not have anaconda installed on these discs. I will do yum install
anaconda at once. Maybe it will help the next time.

Oh, cancel the previous post... I will *not* install anaconda, I didn't
remember it is an *installer* - I don't think it would help in this case.
This procedure by Les sounds realistic, though I wish there was an
easier way:

What should I do to make an existing CentOS (5.4) disc boot up on a new
computer?
I just made on CentOS 5.3 installation on that machine, so I know the
hardware is compatible.
Would it be enough to boot with a DVD in rescue mode, or boot with
another hd, and install grub?

If it doesn't boot (normally because the disk numbering is different) you
can use a rescue DVD and grub to fix things (probably grub-install and
maybe /etc/fstab for the /boot filesystem).
Is the old hd using LVM and/or labels for filesystems ?
I ran into trouble and decided to go another way.
The rescue CD did not find CentOS installations, most probably because
the ext3 partitions were hidden behind a md layer.
I could have stopped the raid devices first, then I would probably have
been able to use the rescue CD and rebuild initrd
