Thank you for your replies.
Yes, I checked the boot log and errpt, and yes, I tried to start with piping stdout, stderr to a file, it is not being even created, leave alone populated. As zaxxon said, other system services are being started fine by it, which is really strange. Maybe it's worth to mention that I tried either by viing the file directly or with the *itab commands. On other machines it works either way (though I know IBM recommend not editing it directly).
Of course, I executed "init q" every time I changed something.

initscript
INITSCRIPT(5) Linux System Administrator's Manual INITSCRIPT(5)
NAME
initscript - script that executes inittab commands.
SYNOPSIS
/bin/sh /etc/initscript id runlevels action process
DESCRIPTION
When the shell script /etc/initscript is present, init will use it to execute the commands from inittab. This script can be used to set
things like ulimit and umask default values for every process.
EXAMPLES
This is a sample initscript, which might be installed on your system as /etc/initscript.sample.
#
# initscript Executed by init(8) for every program it
# wants to spawn like this:
#
# /bin/sh /etc/initscript <id> <level> <action> <process>
#
# Set umask to safe level, and enable core dumps.
umask 022
ulimit -c 2097151
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
export PATH
# Increase the hard filedescriptor limit for all processes
# to 8192. The soft limit is still 1024, but any unpriviliged
# process can increase it's soft limit up to the hardlimit
# with "ulimit -Sn xxx" (needs a 2.2.13 or later Linux kernel).
ulimit -Hn 8192
# Execute the program.
eval exec "$4"
FILES
/etc/inittab, /etc/initscript.
