I'm also having that jumping clock problem. It's happening since one of
my recent emerge -uD world.
As a workaround, I installed rdate (in the portage tree) and use
time.nist.gov or 192.43.244.18 inside of /etc/conf.d/local.start
But I really would like to know what is messing with my hardware clock.
Can it be one of the timers I have enabled in my new kernel?
