Dear List,

With your help able to fix  rc.conf. 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 .
