I'll assume you also told proftpd it was no longer running
standalone?

And look at other logs, ('ls -lrt' to see most recent) and try
telling syslogd to not buffer log writes, more info may be
available next time.

But if you are sure the error ONLY happens after a config change,
the error would have to be in that config change, no?

Make sure correct NIC driver loaded -- the startup scripts do
make assumptions that may no longer apply.

Compile kernel for your hardware, confirm system operation in
chunks: memory, filesystem and networking.
