Dick,

You really need to know what the various sessions and background processes
are waiting for.  Ususally we do this by looking at v$session_wait.

If you can't run anything, including 'alter session set events 'immediate
trace name hanganalyze level 3;', then you can attach to a running oracle
process with a symbolic debugger and force the process to dump a systemstate
or hanganalyze.  Please see Metalink note 121779.1
(http://tinyurl.com/2tr9dw).

If you substitute ksudss() with ksdhng() in the above document, you can
force the process to dump a more practical hanganalyze dump instead of a
systemstate dump.  A hanganalyze is easier to read and also more likely to
succeed.

To interpret hanganalyze dumps, see note 215858.1
(http://tinyurl.com/3y6bl6).

    One of the problems we're having is that we can't execute anything
except "shutdown abort".  Anything else just runs off into lala land.
