SuSEFirewall fails on system startup

When switching to runlevel 3 the firewall is going to be initialized. Normally I get the green done message when a service is startet or the red failed message. But the firewall-initalisation-steps 1-3 produce neither the green nor the red message. At the end of system startup the system tells me: Failure services in runlevel 3: SuSEfirewall_init, SuSEfirewall_setup, SuSEfirewall_final. But the file /etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config is cinfigured in the right way !
