I am sorry, xntpd isn't the only problem. hwclock doesn't work either:

[[root@lem /etc]# hwclock --adjust --utc --debug
we have read epoch 1900 from /dev/rtc with RTC_EPOCH_READ ioctl.
Using /dev/rtc interface to clock.
Last drift adjustment done at 923171965 seconds after 1969
Last calibration done at 923162965 seconds after 1969
Waiting for clock tick...

According to the suggestions of Ryan Schaefer <lars@execpc.com> I tried
yesterday Linux 2.2.5-ac6. Until now I didn't get this thing booting:

[...]

In consequence the kernel is unable to mount the root partition (which
is on sda2).

Any ideas?
Should I post this to Alan Cox? (Or is he on the list?)
