Cannot allocate new log&Private strand flush not complete

Question

There are two Oracle10g(10.2.0.5) Database running on SUN M5000(SPARC64 VII 2.53 GHz Quad-Core Processors*4/32GB Memory).
The first Oracle10g DB is running with 8GB SGA and 1GB PGA, the second Oracle10g DB is runing with 7GB SGA and 2GB PGA.
We encountered a issue on the second Oracle DB. When we manually switch the online redo logs with an alter system command as below.
SQL> alter system switch logfile;
The Alert log will display the following messages:
Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence xxx
Private strand flush not complete .
All other Oracle10g DB will not occur "Private strand flush not complete" messages except for the second Oracle10g DB. I want to know the detail reason.
I also saw two Doc ID:[ID 372557.1] and [ID 435887.1] from Oracle Metalink. But I am not satisfacted with what they wrote.
My last target to resolve the issue.
Anyone help me ?
I am kylix.

hi
Hemant
iam very new to this field,since 20 days i am having one big problem in my databases,i have 2 database in my windows server environment ,recently i have upgrade my both the database from 10g to 11g.Why i upgrade means in 10g iam getting error ora-07445 access violation,in my alertlog file (when iam going to take full database backup through export getting this error in logfile and export stops with error) so i thought to apply the patch,but with discussion with my manager and team, we all thought this is the time to upgrade so we changed to 11g
then 11g upgrade is 100% successfully completed, to verify the export on 11g ,i thought to take logical backup of my 2 database's

what happening here is it just coming to this point and stopping here for hours............more than 10 hours (I have to kiill this session manually).I tried with single user its working but when i take full backup of database export , then it not working,,, i have cross check every possibilities by giving full privilages,space check,and many other but no solution, i was unable to take full backup ,(but i can take single user backup)
i have even applied bundle patch (Oracle® Database Server Version 11.2.0.1 Patch 16) 100% sucessfully but the error continious)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
NOTE:___one more twist here is , when i bounce the database then i can take full database backup with out error and warnings for 6 to 7 times then again at 8th time its again stopping at above point.......................................................(when i need full logical backup again i need to bounce the db)
what for its stopping here, why it is not going forward,,, its issue with both the database's same,
