You don't say what you are booting from - DVD? USB? PXE? In addition, the interesting portions of the messages that would have been useful are the ones off the top of your screenshot.

Did you verify your ISO file download is correct? Did you burn it to DVD correctly? If using a USB stick did you create it using the guidelines in the wiki - i.e. using dd or rawrite2 not some random "create a bootable usb stick" program found on the net (most of which don't work for the CentOS DVD).
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
