Maybe a bit off-topic regarding your problems, but an HOURLY time update seems a bit much to me. I run it daily (from crontab, I only run ntpdate not ntpd) and it's fine. Maybe 1 or 2 minutes deviation. Is there anything wrong with using cron for this I wonder now? At some point my system time seemed to be running too fast (dmesg showed the processor being clocked on anything between 85 and 95 MHz, while its an --old-- P100). But instead of hourly ntpdate, which to me seemed madness, I found out I had to enable APM in my kernel (see LINT). That did the trick. Are you sure you're not having the same problem as I had?
