I see two problems in your dmesg output:

Take a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt,
particularly the clock= option.  clock=pmtmr might be the best option
here...although I'm not sure it applies to amd64.

Booting with noapic (again, see kernel-parameters.txt) should help.
It might also clear up the time issue above.
