So that's a Linux thing then, eh? Whoops.
I'm pretty sure the BIOS had been updated to the final version a few years back, when this board was running a K6 chip.
I've implemented a somewhat crude solution by setting up a cron job to kill previous instances of ntpd, then start a new daemon with the "-s" switch every 15 minutes. The restarting, along with the drift compensation ntpd does, is doing a fairly good job. Four polls an hour is still within the ntp.org usage guidelines...although on the high side.
