My motherboard both holds USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 controllers. I don't have a 
"Legacy USB Support" option in my BIOS, all my USB options are the following:

Enable USB 1.1 controller: YES	(Surely relates to my true USB 1.1 controller)

Enable USB 2.0 controller: YES	(Same for the high speed controller ?)

Enable USB keyboard: NO

Enable USB mouse support: YES	(Well, I have one ;-)

I didn't change anything regarding these so far.

Hey !! This one looks like the MIRACLE-OPTION !!

I just booted using my 2.6.12 kernel patched with Nathalie's patches (don't 
know if they help in there...) and the problem seems to be gone !

Nothing complains anymore about the interrupt. I have:

[root@totor etc]# cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0
  0:     934501    IO-APIC-edge  timer

...now let's see with time if this is stable...

A thousand thanks for your suggestion Alan !

(Kernel 2.4 was working plain good without such a boot option, I didn't know 
it existed...)
