I have a new iBook2 and I'm having *severe* clock drift problems -- on
the order of several seconds gained per minute.  I'd like to get this
taken care of, and it seems to be a linux problem as OSX appears to
have a stable clock.

Are you using MOL or do you experience this with nothing special running ?

Nothing special...   I tried using ntpd to fix the problem, but it
didn't seem to be able to set the system time and I'm not sure why.

Does your kernel have CONFIG_PPC_RTC enabled? (_not_ CONFIG_RTC).
