If pgstartup.log is empty that points at an issue with the configuration file. From memory, when you do an initdb it recreates the configuration files in the /var/lib/pg... directory. I would look at the main control file and the pg_hba.conf and try to start the database passing it the name of the main conf file as a parameter (as well as the database directory).

Then try again.
What exactly is the error message?
