Able to start in normal mode. again the server is hanging. No connection from LAN and also from server console So in single user mode ran fsck. The fsck commands runs fine util it comes for /usr. After giving these messsage http://pastebin.com/jujRwp6g It is waiting for more than a hour.No other output. Is it normal phenomena? Will it take more time. Please Note: As some one adviced here for memory check. Out of 4 RAMS tried removing RAM one by one and checked whether system is hanging. It still hangs .
