Comment 6 for bug 17589

I have similar problem on an Acer Aspire 5021 laptop. In my case, the clock is
more than twice the speed, and it now thinks it's Friday :) This is worsened
because the ntpd is unable to sync the clock properly as well. I managed to fix
both problems by using the noapictimer kernel parameter. This occurs for me
both in Hoary and Breezy preview release though, using Kernels 2.6.10-5, 2.6.11
and 2.6.12-8 - whatever is causing it, it seems to be hanging on in there..
