I have 3 of them, all show the problem. I'd suggest to remove the "probably a VIA686a motherboard" at least, it's quite misleading:
# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi]: Unknown device 1647 (rev 04) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5247 00:02.0 USB Controller: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5237 USB (rev 03) 00:04.0 IDE interface: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5229 IDE (rev c4) 00:06.0 USB Controller: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5237 USB (rev 03) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc.

[ALi] M7101 PMU 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. Savage 4 (rev 03)
there's no VIA686a in sight... B-)
I haven't tested xntpd yet, I'm curious to see if that's really a problem of some kind with timekeeping or not. I'll do that ASAP.
BTW, these MBs crash randomly if you don't use the 'noapic' boot option.
