Is this what you really typed? You didn't build a kernel. Userland and
the kernel are out of sync.

If you are building GENERIC,

  make buildkernel
  make installkernel

If you are building your own, you should be putting in its
name. Setting "KERNEL=" (setting the KERNEL variable to null) is not
the same as not defining it at all.
