Like this one: [oliver@track oliver]$ ls -lah /boot/vmlinuz-2.5.64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.9M Mar 6 16:58 /boot/vmlinuz-2.5.64 [ ... ] And aboot.conf should look something like this: [oliver@track oliver]$ cat /etc/aboot.conf # aboot default configurations # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition.

You can try rdate as well... rdate -s ; hwclock -w br, Oliver
