yes, that helps a lot. looks like you have a media mounted that is hanging and 
therefore the complete kicker process is blocked. do you have NFS mounts 
mounted while being offline or something like that?

you can figure out which one is hanging by looking at the end of "dmesg" or 
comparing output of "df" with "cat /proc/mounts". df should hang somewhere if 
my assumption is right, and you can guess where it hangs by comparing the 
output with "cat /proc/mounts".. it tests one after the other mount points 
listed in /proc. 

let me know if you find it this way, and what the exact circumstances are when 
this happens, perhaps we can find a workaround for that. 

Greetings,
Dirk
