This report is pretty unclear, but are you complaining that there's
nothing in pgstartup.log? There's not supposed to be; that file only
exists to catch any error messages that might come out before the error
logging mechanism is started up. The default logging arrangement in the
8.0 RPMs is that postmaster log output goes into day-named log files
under /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_log/. If you don't like that, feel free to
adjust the postgresql.conf parameters that control it.
