Yes, I knew that. I still can remember when it happened to me for the
first time. I was a fresh linux novice running RedHat 3.0.3 and  compiling
his first kernel when I played with the timeconfig panel in another
xterm. Whoaps! One failed build attempt. ;)

I've got a 821/D250 and I don't know anything about the accuracy of the
RTC clock.
But hwclock tells me the following:

[root@hp9000 root]# hwclock
