Direct upgrade is NOT supported. You are advised to backup your old
system, save all relevant parameters and personal data and do a clean
install.
I think CentOS 6.0 by default uses etx4 partitions that are better then
old ext3, so I would advise total reformat of root partition (*after*
backup) and fresh install on newly formated partition.
