Good point Carlos. To add: You can force serial startup through the use of the RUN_PARALLEL flag in /etc/sysconfig/boot, change it from "yes" to "no" and you will have a more structured boot.msg. IIRC there should also be a way to get a prompt to start each service during bootup. I wish I could find it right now, perhaps someone else can fill in the blanks, but that may be your best bet for seeing exactly what is happening on your system.
