Why?

Even by default verbosity level 3 is too high (unless you really want to
debug things). It floods the logs with senseless messsages and hides the
real ones.

What important messages do you miss?

What init.d script do you use? There are various ones in Asterisk's
distribution.

I figure you need -Fvvvvvvv for detached operation or -vvvvvvv for
non-detached operation.

You can also use /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf to set some defaults. Sadly
this can have some confusing results, as asterisk.conf settings override
command-line setting. This is not what you normally expect in programs.
See
http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.4/doc/asterisk-conf.txt

And if this is is for a single operation: just run Asterisk manually:

  asterisk -Uasterisk -cvvvvvvvv

to check what's wrong.
