Hm ... what PG version are you running, and how are you doing logging?
There should definitely be some other informational messages coming out.
But it useta be that those were just fprintf'd to stderr, so if you are
using syslog logging you might lose them.  I'd suggest restarting the
postmaster with stderr redirected into a file (and *don't* use the -S
switch).
