Yes. The kernel was one of the things that I upgraded. I am currently on 3.9.11, which I upgraded from 3.7.10. I will try using some other kernel.

If it is the kernel, it is very unfortunate and troubling. I had upgraded to 3.10.2 from 3.7.10, and had to immediately downgrade to 3.9.11 because of issues with mounting one particular usb stick.

This sounds to me like a kernel issue, did you recently switch it?
Various programs that benchmark implementations hang forever. I'm pretty
sure something is wrong with timers and/or signals.

    Hi all,

       Due to some change in my system sage no longer finishes compiling.
    This is irrespective of whether it is sage-git or some released
    version.
    Usually it is some tuning process that remains stuck for ever.

    * At one point, it was atlas that was tuning for two whole days and
    never finished (irrespective of whether I gave the ARCH as "base" or
    "Core2" or let it decide by itself). A system installation of atlas
    finished compiling and installing in 20 min. Thanks to Burcin, I have
    been able to use the system atlas and tricked sage into continuing with
    the rest of the installation.

    * Now, it is g2fx that is stuck for ever. It remains stuck at again a
    tuning program that doesn't use any cpu and it will remain stuck like
    this for days on end without any resolution. The log file of g2fx is
    attached and a screenshot is attached which shows at which command
    it is
    stuck.

    I am at a loss and I can't understand what exactly is impeding these
    tuning processes. It is also a hindrance since I am unable to install
    any newer version of sage on this particular machine, beyond what I had
    last compiled (sage-5.11.beta3):
    model name        : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU          6400  @ 2.13GHz

    If anyone can let me know how I can use a system installation of
    g2fx or
    just let it use some generic tuning parameters, it will be great, and I
    can continue with actually working with sage instead of fighting it!

    Thanks,
        basu.
