Find this line in /etc/init.d/postgresql

                su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/initdb --pgdata=$PGDATA > /dev/null 2>&1" < /dev/null

and change it to

                su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/initdb --pgdata=$PGDATA > /var/log/pgsql 2>&1" < /dev/null

then find this line

                su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl  -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster -o '-p ${PGPORT} ${PGOPTS}' start  > /dev/null 2>&1" < /dev/null

and change it to

                su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl  -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster -o '-p ${PGPORT} ${PGOPTS}' start  > /var/log/pgsql 2>&1" < /dev/null

then look in /var/log/pgsql for the error messages.
