They are, or were, in there, and its running just fine under -rc5, 
its -rc6 that blew up and got off by 45 minutes in 27 hours of uptime.
Thats way an gone many times my normal clock drift here Russell.
That (the drift file) stays around 4 ppm, as shown here, after a
reboot to 2.6.15-rc5:

it out now, and ntpd restarted.  We'll see if it (ntpq -p) even bothers to 
report LOCAL now.  Nope. But the status is presently 0041, whatever that
indicates, from the ntp.log:

21 Dec 15:32:29 ntpd[9198]: kernel time sync enabled 0001

Neither of those are in an ntpq -p report?

When I had -rc6 running it was spitting out some sort
of code at about 1 second intervals to the vt's:

Dec 21 10:29:23 coyote last message repeated 12 times
Dec 21 10:29:29 coyote kernel: set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 14 to 59

That was from /var/log/messages while it was running the small code 
option kernel.  Without that option set, it throws the same message
out on all vt's at ~1 second intervals.

So I think this one might be a legit problem.  I haven't tested
it without the apic enabled in the bios though.  Recall that this
didn't work with apic on at all in the previous bios flash. No
messages, but no work either.  Nforce2 chipset FWTW.
