I just encountered the same kind of problem with my cluster setup on Friday (which is also Ubuntu 10.04 updated to the latest HA PPA packages).  Shell hung trying to add primitive - Ctrl-C to quit.  Then tried status - that worked fine.  Then ra info ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2 - that hung.  Tried to restart one of the nodes - that hung with wating for crmd to quit for over 6 hours before I kill -9 crmd process.  That happened on both nodes.  The shell is still acting the same way after rebooting too.  

Pouring through logs trying to figure out what's going wrong! (at least this is still a test cluster)
