Do you get a message during boot like "cannot access hardware clock by any 
known method"?  If so, that means that your /sbin/hwclock is looking for 
/dev/rtc, but your newer kernel is supplying /dev/rtc0 and /dev/rtc1.  Try to 
link /dev/rtc to rtc0 or rtc1 (not sure which, but you want the external one 
rather than the ep93xx internal rtc).

Userspace lagged for a while when the kernel started supporting multiple rtc's.
