System clock too fast after kernel upgrade

["Felix C. Stegerman" <quix@free.fr>]

I realise this is probably not Debian-specific,
but I'm hoping someone on this list can help me out anyway.

I upgraded to kernel 2.6.7-mm1 today.
(source from kernel.org, built with make-kpkg)

Now, my system clock is running too fast: about 3-4x normal speed.
This is obviously not very convenient.
I searched google and found a reference to a similar problem [1].
The solution provided there, passing "clock=tsc" to the kernel,
has absolutely no effect.

I hope someone on this list can shed some light on this
and can help me solve this
