Some time ago I expreienced the same problem.
The problem was that I did't have any real console connected to the machine. Isted I used the hyperterm in windows and connected via the serial port.
After I left this connection to my unixserver I just klicked the (X) box up in the right corner of the hyperterm window. When I did the the machine halted but first it seemed like it was totaly hanged. This happend 3-4 times until I figured out what was wrong.
The fix was to just type 'go' and the machine came up in runlevel 3 again.
Nothing was in the messages...
If this is your problem sun have a patch for this. Or you can comment out
KEYBOARD_ABORT=alternate in /etc/default/kbd
