Yes--every time you remake the world, you must rebuild and install the kernel. Try the buildkernel and installkernel make targets from /usr/src: (you've just buildworlded, but haven't yet installworlded) # make buildkernel [ ... cruncha cruncha cruncha ... ] # make installkernel KERNEL=kernel This will install a GENERIC kernel--once you're up and running with the new build, you can build a custom kernel (cvsup doesn't touch your old custom kernel config file). The KERNEL=kernel line will ensure your new kernel is installed as /kernel, rather than /GENERIC, which won't boot (and will leave your old, incompatible kernel in place--I found this out the hard way). In order to rebuild a system which won't boot because it's choking on something it loads at boot time (from /etc/rc and friends), try booting in single-user mode.
