Was this a fresh install of Parabola GNU/Linux-libre or did you migrate from Manjaro/Arch? The reason why I ask is I had a similar issue at one point on a migrated system, it would actually boot from the older kernel sometimes. I would start by checking the /boot directory to ensure that the linux-libre kernel is properly installed, followed by checking the grub.cfg to see if it is in fact booting the latest kernel. It should not be booting the old kernel once a new kernel is installed, so uname shouldn't mention the old version either.
