It turned out that the problem (probably a memory mapping one) is very specific to a special hardware configuration (512+128 MB RAM with interleave disabled). See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/213747 for details. Probably not many people will encounter this but anyone who will will be hopeless. (It's crazy the variety of effects, even corrupted disk probably, just like wild shooting)
Although I find it's the opportunity to hunt a hidden bug that could hit even more obscurely and I'm here to help too, I have my workaround (remove the 128MB) and I won't mind anyone saying he prefers more urgent matters, as I have mine too. Why Windows XP runs fine and a kernel upgrade suddenly multiplied the gravity by 10 is a question that may haunt me forever, but I'll seek psychological assistance ;-) Thanks again and let anyone know where this report has been : alert off.
