Please keep this on the list.

It doesn't seem like your kernel module is built properly.  Are you ever able to pass traffic?

This indicates that ovsdb-server isn't running.  My guess is that you're not properly starting the daemons.

It seems like there are a number of issues going on here.  Have you read INSTALL.RHEL, which should be pretty close to what you need for CentOS?
