Switch log creating lock and hangs

Question

created new db, placed db into archivelog mode, switch log file, session waits. enterprise manage is showing an "IS" lock on that session. the arc
folder is completely read/writable.
any ideas?

Answer 1

all is how it should be, archivelog enabled and started, write access to the dir and partition has plenty of free space. its the 3rd log switch creates a wait for something.
