2005 Agent does not start on Reboot

I have a Windows 2003 server that is running SQL Server 2005 SP1. When the
server is rebooted, the SQL Server agent does not start. The service is set
to start automatically and is running with a domain account that has local
administrative privileges.
The Agent log has the following entries immediately after the reboot:
Date 6/3/2006 10:59:18 AM
Log SQL Agent (Archive #1 - 6/3/2006 10:59:00 AM)
Message
[098] SQLServerAgent terminated (normally)
---
Date 6/3/2006 10:58:36 AM
Log SQL Agent (Archive #1 - 6/3/2006 10:59:00 AM)
Message
[241] Startup error: Unable to initialize error reporting system (reason
:
The EventLog service has not been started)
I think I have done my homework researching this issue but have not found
anything that has fixed the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
ChrisDid you check whether the Event Log service is disabled or is a manual
startup service in the services applet (administrative tools). If it is not
set to auto-start, make it auto start, reboot machine and see what happens.
