Yes, now you have to rebuild your kernel. That's not done
automatically by "make world". Currently, you're still running the
old 2.2.2 kernel.
To build yourself a new GENERIC kernel, do this:
cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
config GENERIC
cd ../../compile/GENERIC
make depend
make
make install
and then reboot.
If the reboot fails for some reason (which is very unlikely), your
old kernel will be in "/kernel.old". You can specify that at the
"Boot:" prompt to get your system running again.
You also should check your various files in "/etc" against the new
ones in "/usr/src/etc", and merge in any changes or additions that
have taken place between 2.2.2 and now.
