Sorry, forgot to mention this in the initial report. I ran ps after 
bootup and there was no ntp procs running.

Yes, that helped.

ps aoutput looks like this after boot:
root at genshi:~# ps aux |grep ntp
root       568  0.0  0.1  20072  2440 ?        S    09:10   0:00 /bin/sh 
/etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate
root       570  0.0  0.0   6268   628 ?        S    09:10   0:00 
lockfile-create /var/lock/ntpdate
root       622  0.0  0.1  22452  3724 ?        Ss   09:10   0:00 /bin/sh 
/etc/init.d/ntp start
root       663  0.0  0.0   6268   632 ?        S    09:10   0:00 
lockfile-create /var/lock/ntpdate

Could it be ntpdate which is fucking up the start of ntpd here before?

Regards
Evgeni
