You probably need to tell us what the problem is with chrony. It is probably
dumping messages into the logs (are you using systemd or (r)syslog )
Is there anything in /var/log/chrony? Does your chrony config tell chrony to
put stuff into there?
I am not sure I would first look at the kernel for problems with chrony.

Some things have changed in 2.2 in the handling of the rtc at bootup.
