Is there any relevant information in syslog or messages or any other log file ? – Iain♦ Nov 17 '11 at 17:06

If you can't find any information messages in /var/log/syslog then you can start klogd in debug mode. In this mode it will print lots of information to stderr so you should be able to find out what's the problem from that.

/sbin/klogd -d
