Had a similar "problem" on a recent install.
The hardware clock was so out of date, that a ntpd -s refused to set
the time because of ...ssl certificates not yet valid...

Solution one disable constraint check and run ntpd the old fashioned way
for the first few minutes. Or second solution, set the date once by hand
and then run ntpd with constraint checks.
