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.  This means that
#          all kernel paths are relative to /boot/
0:1/vmlinuz-2.5.64 root=/dev/sda3 console=tty0

You can try rdate as well...

rdate -s <timeserver>; hwclock -w
