I have already solved the problem. To solve it I put some warnings
on /etc/rc until found which part of the code was broke:

echo "drios #1: " > /root/dummy.txt

At some part of this script system call rc.local to load specific
daemons to our system. I had put some buggy code at rc.local and then it
leaved /etc/rc without process the rest of the file.
