It would be useful to know what event or events are being set up on the 
machine. 
  You can get this information from /root/.oprofile/daemonrc.

You can also put a "-x" at the end of the first line of the opcontrol script 
and 
see what what point in the script that things die.

If you are running the machine with a GUI such as KDE or gnome,  it might be 
wise to turn of the GUI, by changing the default runlevel in /etc/inittab to 
use 
level 3 rather than level 5 and see what output comes up on the screen. 
Alternative use a serial console setup to capture the output on another machine.
