This is what happens if you try and use a postgresql.conf with parameters set for a 64-bit installation on a 32-bit operating system. You're trying to do this:

shared_buffers = 7680MB

But the 32-bit Centos 5.2 you're using doesn't allow you to allocate more than 2GB of RAM for that. If there really is around 32GB of RAM in there, like I'm assuming the 5.4 system has for pgtune to made this suggestion, you certainly will need to install a 64-it OS on it to take advantage of that usefully.
