Ok, hard freeze is not good. One thing you could try is a serial console. This needs only a boot option to the kernel. CentOS 5.5 is also pretty recent. Unless Milan knows what is going on here, a recreation in a test machine would probably be the best next step. Hmm, do you by any chance encrypt swap _twice_? BTW, pretty peculiar setup. I take it this machine installs itself from an image to the encrypted filesystem (with random key) on boot? JUst out of curiosity, how long does that take?
