You are more likely to get help with PostgreSQL issues in a PostgreSQL
group.  But I will ask whether the service logs anything useful when
you try to start it.

Early logging may be going to a file 'postmaster.log' in Pg's 'data'
directory.  You should find messages like:

2020-02-24 21:15:12 EST   LOG:  starting PostgreSQL 12.2 on 
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (Gentoo 9.2.0-r2 p3) 
9.2.0, 64-bit
2020-02-24 21:15:12 EST   LOG:  listening on IPv6 address "::1", port 5432
2020-02-24 21:15:12 EST   LOG:  listening on IPv4 address "127.0.0.1", port 5432
2020-02-24 21:15:12 EST   LOG:  listening on IPv4 address "192.168.101.7", port 
5432
2020-02-24 21:15:12 EST   LOG:  listening on IPv6 address "fec0:0:0:1::7", port 
5432
2020-02-24 21:15:12 EST   LOG:  listening on Unix socket 
"/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"
2020-02-24 21:15:12 EST   LOG:  redirecting log output to logging collector 
process
2020-02-24 21:15:12 EST   HINT:  Future log output will appear in directory 
"/var/log/postgresql".

If you are not getting even that, then you may need to run Pg manually
to see what is failing, using 'pg_ctl' with appropriate options (and I
don't know what would be appropriate -- check the Pg startup script
for clues).
