Exit setup by typing :

      Esc (key)

Get date by typing at the shell prompt :

whatever your timezone is.

It sounds like an interaction between the kernel and the APM
BIOS - most likely because the kernel is set that
'hardware clock is in GMT'. Change the kernel setting and
try recompiling the kernel.
