Well, that was instructive - thanks Mick. I found a couple of settings I'm 
sure I'd never have set knowingly, one of them a debug. After removing them 
I still get the caught-an-interrupt and failed-to-start errors, but now I 
find that chrony is apparently running well despite the errors. At any rate, 
it logs the selection of a source five seconds after it's started and the 
process is still running:

 2051 ?    S    0:00 /usr/sbin/chronyd -f /etc/chrony/chrony.conf -s -r

I've had another check through the kernel config, comparing it with the i5 
config, and I've removed several more things that I think shouldn't be 
there, but it's made no further difference.
