I am experiencing the exact same problem (well different services, but the same symptoms). some of the services in rc2 is starting, sometimes all of them sometimes just a few.
Runlevel outputs:
runlevel 'unknown'
If I change to runlevel 2 by issuing init 2, the services starts.
Both tried an updated karmic to lucid and then re-installed with a fresh install from minimal 10.04.
