Hmm. In 8.0.4 RPM init scripts, we were using a 1 second of sleep time 
(see sleep 1 line in the init script). On some cases where the system is 
slow, you are prompted about the startup failure; however this is not the 
real case.

In 8.1 RPMs, the sleep time was increased to 2 seconds; which we believe 
that won't have the problem you've reported:


http://cvs.pgfoundry.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/pgsqlrpms/patches/8.1/postgresql.init?rev=1.2&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

So please increase this sleep time and give another try.
