Morning all,
the system is not used for dual boot. I have nothing but Fedora installed.

Since yesterday the result is:
1) set bios time to the correct value
2) booted the system and turned off ntp
3) left the system running for several hours then shut it down
4) turned it on today and the clock drift is less than 5 minutes. Much better 
than 20 minutes.

See earlier post on this thread by Michal Jaegermann. He's also seeing similar 
problems.
