My kernel still had the apm line from its GENERIC days, which didn't hurt me before: device apm0 at nexus? disable flags 0x31 # Advanced Power Management It seems that the disable keyword is ignored, because the apm0 device suddenly appeared in the probe messages and that set statclock_disable to 1. I have removed apm from my kernel config file and all is well again.
