Thanks for the link, it was very helpful. My /usr is in the / partition, so that wasn't the problem. I ended up moving /etc/rcS.d/S18hwclockfirst.sh to /etc/rcS.d/S09hwclockfirst.sh (right before S10checkroot.sh) as per the above bugreport. 4 hours after rebooting, my time is still correct so it looks like it fixed it. (No, I didn't reboot to check the clock... I was trying to boot a new kernel with usb & scsi debugging enabled.) Now why running S18hwclockfirst.sh, then S10checkroot.sh and finally S22hwclock.sh in that order wouldn't fix it without a reboot is beyond me, but fortunately somebody in the bugreport knew what they were talking about. Thanks to everyone for the tips and suggestions.
