time

Every time my computer (Gentoo linux) reboots the clock is several hours off:

/etc/localtime is set for the correct timezone
/etc/conf.d/clock lists the correct timezone
running sntp -r 0.gentoo.pool.ntp.org fixes the problem... until reboot
setting the time manually using date also fixes the problem... until reboot

The System clock is set to UTC

This is starting to drive me nuts :(
