rpcbind signal6 on boot. no syslogd, no rc execution, etc.

Hardware:
Dell PowerEdge 1600SC/XEON 2.4 1GB ram. ServerWorks
BIOS 

This is really weird, so weird that I feel that I
should apologize even before begining to explain. 
Sorry.

When I boot the server I go to single user and
everything is perfect.  I run fsck -y -f and
everything is great.  When I exit to multiuser, the
shit hits the fan.  It comes up almost immediately
but, syslogd isn't started, rpcbind exits with signal
6, the rc scripts are not executed and I get nothing
in the log file because syslogd isn't running :-(  I
just did a verbose boot and have put it at:

http://local-3.viviendaatualcance.com.mx/dmesg.boot

Although I don't see anything unusual.  The only thing
strange that I've done in the last couple of days is
add the ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf to get gaim running.

Initially, I can't run syslogd, rpcbind, mountd, etc.
but what I've been able to do is go through the rc
configuration files manually and do a 100% manual
configuration from ifconfig, moused, ntpd, route,
hostname, start everything in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, and
then I am miraculously I am about to run syslogd,
rpcbind and mountd???  Could this be an issue with
order?  I just don't understand.  After this it works
perfectly until I reboot.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions as to what I
could have done to cause this because I am pretty sure
it is me but I have no idea how.  

Thanks,

ed
