OK, it seems in my case it's triggered by the initialization of the X "s3virge" driver (for my s3 virge/dx pci card). It doesn't occur when using "vga" nor when switching ttys. Starting X with s3virge seems to be the only way to trigger it on my system.
i'm not very familiar with those problems, i only know that resetting the timer keeps my system clock from going mad.
