Dunno the actual cause. Someone else will.

Ok, so if you start the server again after booting you're going to get
prompted the same way. Try starting it with logging NOT directed to a
file.

$ su - postgres
$ pg_ctl start

Should prompt you. Now see if redirecting the null file to stdin lets
the server start without waiting.

$ pg_ctl start </dev/null

Or...

$ echo n | pg_ctl start

If any of these workarounds suffice, edit them into your
/etc/init.d/postgresql script.
