2.6.2 - System clock runs too fast

Hello together

I've a problem with my system clock. It runs too fast. In realtime 5 minutes
my notebook runs 8 minutes. The BIOS-Time doesn't run.
With kernel 2.4.24 everything is ok but when I boot my new 2.6.2 the clock
runs.

Could it be that the compiled speedstepping caused this problem?
Or is there an another causing?

My system: IBM A31p, Kernel 2.6.2, Debian unstable

I already tried "adjtimex --adjust", but I only get the following lines:

I hope someone can help me!
