Can you better describe how it does not keep time? Is time moving too
slow? too fast?

Could you include output from the following commands with 2.6.31-rc2
(and 2.6.30 if you have the time).
 $ cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
 $ cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource
 $ dmesg
 $ ntpdc -c peers
 $ ntpdc -c kerninfo

The error above just comes from NTP not being in sync.
