1 This is just annoying moreso than anything...

3 Whenever I boot into Gentoo, my clock is always a few minutes off -- usually
4 between 5 and 7 minutes. I have to do an ntp sync to right it every time.

6 What is more confusing, is that XP (I dual boot my Dell i8200 notebook) is
7 the correct time, and so is the actual BIOS !!!?
