That usually happens when you compile the kernel on an NFS filesystem
and the clocks between NFS server and client aren't synchronised. Use
NTP to let them sync.

The problem was , I was running Linux on VMWare evaluation version, it
warned me that VMWare evaluation would expire in 6 days and therefore I
backdated it. That is when the problem crept in. However when I restored it
back to the present date, it worked fine.
However, thanks for the reply, this would help me sometime in the future.
