Nothing with netfilter or schedulers on houba, neither on sg ( no log
because no iproute installed ...)

No but I could have change defaults in the linux config file.

I saved the current content of /proc/sys/net and proc/net : 
http://www.starox.org/pub/scp_stall/sg-proc_net-proc_sys_net.tbz2
http://www.starox.org/pub/scp_stall/houba-proc_net-proc_sys_net.tbz2

I put also linux config files in the directory.

Ok, I'll try these tomorrow when it will fault again :)
