Thank you!!! My rc.conf file contained no "CLOCK="" line, so I missed it. This seems like it was overlooked or a bug in the install process. Now it appears that my Gentoo OS is keeping time. However, it is yet to be seen whether the BIOS keeps its time since it appeared to also be a problem.

Is the clock bouncing between two hour times while the minute stays more or less correct? If so, then Gentoo is probably setting the hardware clock to UTC (universal time, or Greenwich Mean Time) when it shuts down, and Windoze is expecting local time on bootup... They may be messing with each oth
