A sync system call took longer than two mintues. Why that happened,
it's harder to say. It's a warning, though, and not a fatal panic or
kernel oops.

How much memory do you have in your system? What happened afterwards?
Did the system continue, and did the sync command (I presume you ran
"sync" from the command line?) finally return to the command prompt?
