This is not a "server does not start" problem. This is something
sending SIGINT to the postmaster, which makes it terminate.
Do all the log files mention "incomplete startup packet" right before
the shutdown request? That's not a very usual message, and it might
be a clue to what's causing the SIGINT.
You might try setting log_line_prefix to '%m ' in postgresql.conf to add
timestamps to the log messages --- that would tell us more about which
messages are actually appearing close together in time.
