If it was 5.1 or older, then there were serious problems if you tried to do an installworld from the older kernel. The upgrade to 5.2+ worked if you booted to single user mode on the new 5.2+ kernel and then did the installworld. You can find some of the solutions in the archive of -current. IIRC, people were able to use the fixit cd, boot from it, and finish the system installation. The other choice I remember is to do a clean 5.2.1 install.
