is it a quicksilver G4? i maintain one of those and its time goes off
much faster then that (3 minutes within a couple hours).
the fix is rather simple:
--- linux.old/arch/ppc/platforms/pmac_time.c.orig Sat Nov 30 02:33:49 2002
+++ linux/arch/ppc/platforms/pmac_time.c Sat Nov 30 02:33:22 2002

return;
in the case of the quicksilver VIA is FAR better then whatever it uses
instead.
