You've probably found kernel bug.

This might be fixed in 2.6.26.5-45, which got a lot of timer and clock fixes.

I noticed that 2.6.26.5-45 falls under the "updates-testing" repository. Should I be installing stuff from there, or will my system become unstable from installing things from "updates-testing" and "updates-testing-newkey"? Will it eventually be available in the main "updates" repository?

It's released.

Did 2.6.26.5-45 fix the problem?
Comment 7 Cranky 2008-10-10 00:56:48 UTC 
I updated to 2.6.26.5-45 when the system advised that the update was available. Since the original occurrence the "blocked for more than 120 seconds" the system has not shown this behaviour in the logs especially after the upgrade to 2.6.26.5-45 kernel.
