that's a good point. my motherboard indeed is about four years old,
maybe you're right, and the battery is dead.
the debconf question about "hardware clock set to GMT" seems not related,
as it is only about whether your clock is set to local time or not. it
doesn't offer the possibility of a dead or wrong hardware clock at all.
