Starting postgresql service FAILED

Had to hard reboot server due to server lockup.  After postgresql failed to start. Trying to manually restart postgresql but keep getting FAILED messages.  Nothing in any of the logs to indicate what the error is.  Any ideas on what next steps I  should take? 
 
Thanks

I guess that the the line where you start postgres redirect all
error on /dev/null ( inside /etc/init.d/postgresql is like this ),
so put in place of /dev/null a file and wathc on it .
