I had a hal error @ one point and it was a simple fix....BUT for some random reason after that my clock was always off.
now every time I start my computer I either get an error saying "last boot was in the future..." or my time in my GUI is completely off...
I fix it this way in the terminal: ntpdate pool.ntp.org
(that fixes my GUI time...
then I: /sbin/hwclock -w
to supposedly set my Bios clock to the same time....
Everything is fine till I restart...then my same problems continue...
any suggestions?

Are you, by chance, double booting with Windows and use UTC instead of local time in Arch?

...nope...I killed windows! (HORRAY!!) and I am running of EST I believe...

How much does your clock move.
If it's a big number of days it might be your BIOS battery going dead and your computer dropping time whenever it turns off the power.
I haven't lost my mind; I have a tape back-up somewhere.

I have the same problem for some weeks now. Ive got a pretty old machine so I first thought it was the battery too. But it still goes off after I put a new battery in. The max offset has been almost one week back before I replaced the battery but that time I moved and havent touched my pc for almost 1 week.
The time off is always different but I noticed that it kind of sums up the next boot when I didnt care much enough to set it back normal the last time. (but maybe that was just coincidence...).
Im on 64 bit and have set my time to "localtime" in my rc.conf.

I just did a pacman system wide upgrade 2 days ago, mainly to get Gnome 2.8. There are many problems, the time thing being one. My clock is off by 4 hours after every reboot despite resetting it. No changes to rc.conf by me or the upgrade. I'm about to backup my home directory and reload the whole blasted OS.

I use this, so no matter what's going on, my time is right every time I boot:
