you probably have not an Interface configured yet!, I recall this
happening to me when I first started using Linux, and as I was using
DHCP, and sendmail would start before I have gotten an IP address it
used to hang there wondering!!!

All you need to do is may be give your hostname in /etc/hosts something
like this

127.0.0.1               localhost
192.168.10.1            hostname

I think
