Check if there is any messages in your systems messages file. If there is fatal errors preventing Squid from starting and even writing to the log files these will get logged via syslog. You can also try starting Squid in foreground mode to receive the error log in the terminal from where you start Squid: squid -Nd3 > I am not using a separate cache partition, just a directory /cache.
