Binary package hint: libc6

I've a server running a fresh install of the Jaunty Ubuntu version. And it freeze with no clue, nos log trace.

The story is that I've got the same bug on a Debian 4.0, and solved the problem, temporary, with the install of the unstable libc6 version and a recent kernel. But as I need the python2.6 as default with other library, I've jump to Jaunty, and do a fresh install. But the freeze comes back.

It seems to have a similar bug on Gentoo[1], and on Debian (I've already report a bug on Debian[3].
), the other solution[2] is to downgrade the libc6.

So as I'm now on Ubuntu, what can I do to go further, which log to show here to help to debug ?
Today I've added "clock=pit" to the grub menu.lst, as suggested here [4]
