Hi Mallik Welcome on linux & fedora world ! During the boot sequence, this message appears when you're using a standalone machine and if you don't have configured correctly sendmail. "Enabling swap space [OK]" means this step is OK, otherwise you would have read : "Enabling swap space " and in your case you are waiting for about 10mn , with concern the next step in the boot sequence which is sendmail ! So I advice you to correct the long timeout in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf or if you don't use this sendmail: chkconfig sendmail --level 2345 off Cheers !
