I andrew,

(logged-in at wrok to make proper reply)

It might be tricky to test properly on 2.6.23.1 since theses are all operationnal aviation forecaster workstations 24/7 .... And sadly the problem only occur on a few of theses workstations AFAIK randomly ???  Actually many of them did not had any problems using the exact same FAI reinstallation using the same hardware..?!?!.

If someone thinks that the problem might effectively be the usb patch that I mentionned before (or any other patch that might make suddently thoses stations to freeze dur to a change that occur between 2.6.20.6 and .10) I would then be able to push a new kernel on thoses workstations without the offending patch(es) and have a clear answer within a week.

I also need to mention that our 2.6.20.6 build contained CFS v20.5 and the new 2.6.20.10 build contains CFS v22 although I doubt it is the cause of the freezing problem but hey, never know.  Although I could probably rebuild and push a new 2.6.20.10 without CFS to be sure.

I'm also currently following the problem occurring on a station and I hope it will freeze at an evident input entry.  Here where it is now:
