Correcting giant leaps can take somewhat long, as ntpd has to ensure
that the time is going forwards all the time, so usually during boot, a
ntp-client call is done which just sets the time based on a known
server.  After that ntpd should run and keep the clock synchronised with
1 or more other servers.  Are you sure the ntpd has a list of (valid and
reachable!) ntp servers so it can properly adjust the time?
