Are you able to connect to the server using the postgres client?  If you do 
a 'ps -A', does postmaster show up?  Do you have postgres setup to listen on 
localhost?  Check your access permissions, too.  Then you may also want to do 
a:

/etc/init.d/postgres restart

(or is is '/etc/init.d/postgresql restart'?)


and see if any errors occur.  A reinstall of postgres might not be a bad idea 
if your filesystem has gotten corrupted in the power outages.

If all else fails, you can always:

apt-get install postgresql-doc

and RTFM.
