I tried to compile mpich2 from sources and the problem seems to be related to checkpointing (blcr package).
blcr does not seem to work properly with kernel 3.x+ since kernel module does not compile https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blcr/+bug/804943

So, since it is sort of useless without the kernel module (and since nobody could be using this unusable feature): /upc-bugs. lbl.gov/ blcr/doc/ html/FAQ. html#patch

Why does ubuntu have to enable BLCR when compiling mpich2? Isnt it possible to "not" enable checkpointing?
If I compile mpich2 without ' --enable- checkpointing --with- hydra-ckpointli b=blcr 'configure options, then everything works fine.
Also, as a side note, can you upgrade mpich2 to 1.4.1p1? (Fedora seem to have 1.4.1p1 since FC15!) www.mcs. anl.gov/ research/ projects/ mpich2/ downloads/ index.php? s=downloads
