Can you post the complete configuration of the machine?

You sure you have dual core CPUs and not two single core / HT capable P4
Xeon CPUs (hence the lack of x86_64 support)?

You best bet is to download CentOS 5.4 i386 DVD and see if it works.
If it doesn't, you're looking at a hardware issue.
If it does, you'll have to connect your machine via serial cable to
another machine so you could post the complete kernel boot log.
