Can you send us a copy of your additions to rc.local (just
copy-and-paste into an e-mail)? It is possible that there's a typo,
causing an error to be emitted to the console. That is, your machine
might be /attempting/ to use rc.local but ends up skipping the erroneous
line. If you like, I imagine you could also add something like this to
rc.local:

echo Yes, I ran > /tmp/if_I_am_missing_then_rc.local_was_not_run

You can then look for this file after booting.
