It sounds like Asterisk is hung in general. Next step, stop asterisk altogether, edit your /etc/asterisk/logger.conf to output all to a logfile:

full => notice,warning,error,debug,verbose,dtmf

Then, do a 'tail -F /var/log/asterisk/full', and startup Asterisk.

I'm guessing you'll be able to see some errors flow by, but more importantly, maybe the log will stop, showing you exactly what is hanging.

Good luck!
