How early is very early? Did it stop before the first Welcome to Centos screen, or did you get to disk partitioning? Knowing exactly where it dies can be useful. Also, scan the disc to see if that's naffed and causing grief. When CentOS is installing you can press Alt-F2 - Alt-F4 (Ctrl-Alt if you're in gui mode) and there should be a few different screens of logs. Do any of those provide insight into where it's failing, or what it last tried to do?
