I ignored the message moved on. You missed a step. The HEADS UP sent to -current said you needed to reboot between kernel install and world install. This is the strictly safe way of upgrading always. However, many people skip the reboot (and even the drop to single-user mode) as a shortcut. Sometimes, the shortcut works. This time, it doesn't. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
