Is this a machine that dual-boots to Windows? Windows prefers (requires?) the hardware clock to be running local time, and actually changes the clock for daylight saving time. This doesn't tend to play well with Linux which favours keeping the clock in UTC and adjusting for whatever timezone the user wants... (This may be out of date, since I've not run Windows for a couple of years.) Simon.
