Which manuals and howtos have you tried already?

As you are not very specific about the requirements and details of your setup,
the CentOS version you use, and the level of experience you have, this is the
only thing I can come up with:
http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2008/05/encrypting-linux-root-partition-with.html

I am unfamiliar with both RHEL and CentOS, so this is all I can give you as
advice.  Maybe someone else here will provide you with more.  If not, I
suggest the CentOS forum as another place to look for help:
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/

Please keep in mind that encrypting the root filesystem is difficult to do
correctly.  If you have little experience using the dm-crypt infrastructure
for this purpose I recommend you practice on a test system until you really,
really know what you are doing.  And, of course, make backups regularly.

Regards,
Ian.
