In RH / Mandrake, there's an option to "set system clock to GMT" in the
timeconfig gui (stored in /etc/sysconfig/clock as UTC=true). You DON'T
want to do this if you're dual-booting with Windows. This may be the
source of the problem for you... I have no clue where that config option
would be under Gentoo.
