First, your memory test is worthless on too many grounds to go into;
it's not only basically worthless, the test isn't even being performed
on the memory you think it is.
Second, just how long did you wait on booting, before deciding it was
hung? It sure sounds like it was trying to do a network lookup, and
hung up for maybe 5 minutes while it was waiting network timeout, for a
namerserver it was probably incorrectly set for. Be a little more
patient, it'll probably work.
