Generally, if boot up hangs on sendmail service starting, it's because someone didn't pay attention to editing /etc/hosts file because the first 2 lines make it pretty clear... # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 when the first 4 lines of /etc/hosts look different than this, you generally get the startup hangs from sendmail. As for the 15 minutes and can't even ping...sounds like oom killer is dealing with some thing that is eating up memory like crazy. Does this happen if you turn off the Adobe Flash Media Server? I would think not. I don't have any knowledge of the Adobe Flash Media Server and you may not find many on this list that do. If you can narrow the problem down to Adobe Flash Media Server, do they have a support list?
