Does the  OP have support  for the hardware  clock in the  kernel?? He
said that he has a custom kernel; so there might be a problm there?
 
I used to get message about losing clock ticks, (both at boot time and
while burning  cds) on my brand new  m/c till I realised  that rtc (or
whatever module is required to  run the realtime clock) is not getting
loaded.

Loading the rtc module fixed the issue.

 grep -i rtc /boot/config-`uname -r` should show either

 CONFIG_RTC=y

 or

 CONFIG_RTC=m
