What could be the problem if boiler fails to fire up?

1) Pilot flame not big enough to send sufficient signal to control board (blocked jet - small flame)
2) Control board "sees" signal from flame sensor but failing to act on it
3) Control board acting on pilot signal and telling gas-valve to open but gas vale defective
