Interesting, my xp1000 boots vmlinuz-6.11.6-alpha-generic. Are you sure that the newest aboot version is written to the boot block of your boot disk? You should be able to see the version as it boots from SRM into aboot. If it isn't you will need to use swriteboot to write the aboot image (/boot/bootlx) to the boot sectors of the boot disk.
