NOTE: Doesn't seem to work when ntpd is already running

Manually routed around thusly (probably isn't the best way) phase2-prepare-root.sh:

# having wrong time will cause all kinds of troubles
##eexec yum -y -q install ntp
##eexec ntpd -gq
eexec service ntpd stop
eexec ntpd -gq
eexec service ntpd start

Thanks for report. Will take a look. Looks like ntpd is already running on fresh Amazon Linux 2 versions

I have just executed image builder for amd64 on us-east-1 and did not get any errors. Could you please confirm the command line you used to build the image.

I have added a fix to kill ntpd if it is already running.
