It is definitely related to DNS.
Does your resolv.conf file point to valid DNS servers, and does your
reverse DNS have a valid address for your system's IP address?
You could also add an entry in your /etc/hosts file for your IP and a
name, so that Sendmail can finish loading.
eth0 is definitely failing because PCMCIA is not yet initialized...once
PCMCIA loads, eth0 loads up right away.
Since this appears to be a laptop, my question to you is: Do you need
Sendmail running on that system? You could just as easily point
Pine/whatever mailer you're using to the smtp and pop3 servers you need.
