It may be easier to also just add a call to 'ntpdate' in your setupntp
script to initially set the date without having to wait for ntpd to
align itself over time if you're starting from a big time delta.

I have no idea why it comes up so far off, but do you have
setupntp in your postscripts. At least that should help realign it over
time.
It does assume you have setup the MN as a ntp server.

Thanks Lisa. The postscript itself is not being used, but NTP is
configured on the nodes. It does eventually bring them in line with the
hardware clock, but unfortunately still doesn't solve the initial
problem of it being off.
I am trying to figure out what is causing this without having to resort
to a hackish way of fixing it :) Someone else on a different mailing
list mentioned that the "Could not access the hardware clock via any
known methods" error is a hint that the initrd is missing the needed
modules to properly access the hardware clock. I am going to dive down
that road on Tuesday and see what I'm able to dig up.
