I had the same time drift issue. I have an Athlon64 X2 chip and an MSI-7100. It seems that the default system timer detection in newer kernels has changed. After searching the net, I found that adding the option clock=pmtmr to the /boot/grub/grub.conf for the kernel you are loading solves the problem (at least with my motherboard). A code sample from my system is below: default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core (2.6.14-1.1644_FC4smp) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4smp ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb clock=pmtmr quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4smp.img
I made the change to my grub.conf file, rebooted, and it appears that the problem is still there. After letting it run 15 mins, the clock gained 30 mins. Only had a single rtc_mmss warning, though. Is this something that might be an issue with the FC3-brand kernels???
