Is this machine's time is synchronized with some server using ntp. I
had seen some very similar issue when the clock deviation was more
than a second .If clock is adjusted and time difference becomes more
than 2 sec the diffence becomes negative because timeval has its
members as signed int.It think that issue might be playing a role
here.



Nope tried every thing, shutting down the ntp server, changing the Ntp server, any thing I do it still will hang intermittently. And if the problem is because of the Ntp why should it hang only on 2.6 not 2.4 kernels ?

And the point is that when it reaches that stage all the commands seem to execute ultra slow.

Any help for diagnosing the problem is most welcome.

Thanks,
