It would be very helpful if you have some logs of what is happening
during startup. You can edit /etc/default/tinc, and ensure the following
line is present, without a # in front:

EXTRA="-d"

This will enable some debugging. You can change it into "-d5" for a lot
more debugging messages. But in any case, things should be logged to
/var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages.
