Can you read and set the hardware lock as root? Try

hwclock --show
hwclock --set --date="07 Apr 2007 13:06:46"

The date string should have the correct date/time for your local
timezone. Sometimes it is necessary to use the "--directisa" option to
make the above commands work. In that case you can put

HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa"

into /etc/default/rcS to make sure that setting/reading the hardware
clock works during shutdown/boot-up.

Thank you Very much Mr.Florian. I have added line to rcS.  Now during boot
I get system time. But however after booting when I do
lvgvaio:~# hwclock --show
I get
select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out

Though my problem during boot is solved, anything to do now for the above
status.
