There been a lot of trouble with the hardware clock on those machines from
HP/Compaq, I suggest you do the following:

mv /sbin/hwclock /sbin/hwclock_bin
echo "#!/bin/sh" > /sbin/hwclock
chmod 755 /sbin/hwclock

I suggest you enable the kernel to read the hardware clock, this way you will
have the correct system time after boot up.

Of course, there could be something else that goes wrong for you, I can't know
that with the huge amount of information.
