make installworld doesn't touch the kernel bits
Why "make installkernel" failed is beyond me.
What I would do is try blowing away /usr/obj and start again.
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL # replace with your actual conf
make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
shutdown -r now
# interrupt reboot sequence and boot -s, unless your source and
# obj trees are accessed via NFS, in which case, come back
# multiuser, mount 'em, and drop back to single user.
make installworld
mergemaster
