Also check the labels on your partitions.  Fedora labels the
partitions /USR, /HOME, etc. depending on how you partitioned it.  If
CentOS labeled them the same way (I guess it depends on what was
installed where and when), then it might find the wrong one and boot a
partition you weren't expecting.

I learned this recently when I cloned my Fedora hard drive and it kept
booting the old installation on a disk further down in the boot order.
