I also have this problem, although I've found that I can manually start
dbus using "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start" that dbus is properly
initialized.
It gives all the normal messages when starting:
* Starting system message bus dbus
[ ok ]
* Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald
[ ok ]
* Starting DBUS aware dhcp client: dhcdbd
[ ok ]
* Starting NetworkManager daemon
[ ok ]
* Starting NetworkManager dispatcher
[ ok ]
* Starting System Tools Backends system-tools-backends
[ ok ]
and it gives no indications why it didn't start correctly in the first place.
