[SOLVED] ThinkPad T410 Clock Skew

Hi,

I'm seeing (negative) clock skew on my T410 after leaving it disconnected from AC power. The weird thing is that when I check the hardware clock via the BIOS on bootup from battery after AC power's been disconnected for a while, the time is correct. But if I then let it boot into Arch, the time Arch displays is incorrect. How far off the time is in Arch seems to be directly correlated to how long the laptop's been disconnected from AC power. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I just removed /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime - I'll see tomorrow if it fixes the problem.

Edit: looks like it's working now, thanks for the help!
