Thanks, Laurent, for your suggestions. In my case, I had made a foolish mistake. In the /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh, there are two lines:
hwclock --adjust $GMT hwclock --hctosys $GMT Instead of just commenting out the first line, I had commented out both lines. Once I put pack the 2nd line, deleted /etc/adjtime and run hwclock to set the proper time, everything was OK.
