Can you read and set the hardware lock as root? Try
hwclock --show
hwclock --set --date="07 Apr 2007 13:06:46"
The date string should have the correct date/time for your local
timezone. Sometimes it is necessary to use the "--directisa" option to
make the above commands work. In that case you can put
HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa"
into /etc/default/rcS to make sure that setting/reading the hardware
clock works during shutdown/boot-up.

lvgvaio:~# hwclock --show
I get
select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out
Though my problem during boot is solved, anything to do now for the above status.
