Can you boot successfully off of CD .. i.e Disc 1 into rescue mode, or
Knoppix? That would eliminate your on-disk installation and allow you to
focus on the hardware.

I have seen LONG boot times with boxes
running sendmail not setup right.. it just times

I could see where the system skips a lot of checks since
the nic is down and it cant query network info.
This dosent explain the error " killing the services "
ok.. what run level does your dell boot into ?
cat /etc/inittab
mine boots to 5
# Run runlevel 5
id:5:initdefault:
I could be wrong but i think swap is
brought up in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
now that you know the runlevel..
look in your /etc/rc5.d
look for the script between your network
start up and sendmail (look for scripts
that start with S )
example mine
S10network
S80sendmail
try disabling sendmail from startup
(mv S80sendmail K80sendmail )
Aslo would you post all your S scripts in your runlevel ?
And like Ray Van Dolson asked anything in the messages file ?
(no im not talking down to you about the run levels and startup scripts
just
trying to make this post easy for newbies)
