Can you try passing fixrtc as an option to the kernel? If that fixes it we could look at including it in the cmdline for Debian based distros.

That modification was unsuccessful with clonezilla.ipxe line 36 updated to:

kernel ${url}vmlinuz boot=live username=user union=overlay config components noswap edd=on nomodeset ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_batch=no net.ifnames=0 nosplash noprompt fetch=${url}filesystem.squashfs fixrtc initrd=initrd.magic ${cmdline}

I'm stupid. Had too many tabs open and replied to the wrong bug. This should have gone in #1253. I'm terribly sorry that I wasted your time trying this.
