Yes there are. So now I can make sense of the apparently conflicting replies from you and Volker that had me a little confused.
Following from the various updates and configuration changes made
yesterday, ntp is now able to do it's job.  I'm happy . . .
Whopee! I ended up with custom kernels, weird boot parameters and allsorts to 
get mine working. In the end, I think it was a kernel update that fixed it.
Same - I think I could go back to using the IPCop box and would all be fine. It's working fine like that for this machine.
Just a poor choice of motherboard I on my part I think.
or perhaps a little unlucky with timings/kernels - electing 64bit isn't necessarily that straight forward, there sure are a few traps that can be fallen into. Next time I'll be googling about a board and 64bit - assuming I know in advance that's what i'll be doing . . .
I still can't run more than 3GB memory without crashing, and there are no bios 
updates available ):
