The asterisk means the clock has been declared a system peer--in other 
words, you are synchronized to that server. See 
/usr/share/doc/ntp-4.1.1/ntpq.htm for more info.

I can't find any reference to an = sign, though, so I'm guessing that it 
means your clock isn't in any of the other states. You may need to do some 
more research on this one.

You'll want to add a time server to /etc/ntp/step-tickers, so that the 
clock is brough up-to-date before attempting kernel time discipline. That 
will solve the problem of a bad hardware clock.
