Thank you for reporting the problem.  I'll look into this along with
the reported mount problem on pen-drives.

If you can hit the keyboard in another terminal during the interval,
please try the following dump feature:

 # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq

 # echo d > /proc/sysrq-trigger
 # dmesg > dmesg.out.1
 (this shows all locks that are held)

 # echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger
 # dmesg > dmesg.out.2
 (this will dump a list of current tasks and their stack)


Note that, your kernel has to be built with the kernel option:

  CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y

to enable this feature.


Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi
