If the machine panics at boot time, there is a good chance that you
installed with LVM and its got both the drives into one volume. You will
need to reinstall that second harddrive, then work out the process of
shrinking the filesystem down to only 1 drive, then remove the second
drive. The scope of this work might be too much for an email, so I can
best point you at the LVM HowTo. There are also some good lvm tips in
the CentOS5 docs ( http://www.centos.org/docs/5/ )
