How different is the time? I recently had this problem because Windoze made my timezone different and caused the shift in time. (Shift in time...rather funny). Make sure your BIOS time is correct, then make sure Windoze is right. Then boot into gentoo. If your gentoo system is borking your time then you need to set /etc/localtime (see the install docs).
Why do we continue to dual boot?  Must be for the torture.

Windows time is right bios too, the problem is just with gentoo. |

| Sometimes if DMA is not enabled on your harddrive(s) you will get clock drift. Perhaps that is the problem. |

So is there a constant difference or a drift? I too have seen both but it has been a while...

It is a drift, how do I check if I got dma enabled? |

Oki I think DMA is disabled, how can I fix it?
| Code: | /dev/hda:
Model=Maxtor 6E040L0, FwRev=NAR61590, SerialNo=E167SDNE
Config={ Fixed }
RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=57
BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=2048kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16
CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=80293248
IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5 udma6
AdvancedPM=yes: disabled (255) WriteCache=enabled
Drive conforms to: (null):

HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off) |

Maragato,
You have a piece missing from your kernel - the chipset driver for your IDE chiip.

Maragato,
In make menuconfig navigate
| Code: | Device Drivers
ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (IDE)
Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support (BLK_DEV_IDE)
PCI IDE chipset support (BLK_DEV_IDEPCI)
Use PCI DMA by default when available (IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO)
SiS5513 chipset support (BLK_DEV_SIS5513) |
and turn on the last item as built in.
Now recompile and reinstall your kernel.

Also note that Windows runs a time service (sntp) by default. Are you running ntpd or openntpd under Gentoo?

If the difference in time is constant (ie, a constant number of hours, probably equal to the change due to your time zone) then the problem is windows. Windows will reset the computers time to be its local time, causing Linux confusion when it thinks the computer is set to GMT. Just change the setting to LOCAL.
in /etc/conf.d/clock changeto |
