We have been experiencing something similar with a custom image built with python-vmbuilder, using kernel aki-2407f24d (2.6.32-308.15)
During the hang, the following repeats in kern.log a number of times: Aug 24 18:13:38 ip-10-83-47-71 kernel: [28107.057125] INFO: task java:4479 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

The things start working normally. The total stop can be > 30 minutes. Sometimes it lasts even longer, and we finally give up waiting and reboot the instance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741224 Title: m1.large instances randomly freezing for 5-15 minutes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ec2/+bug/741224/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
