I may go about it wrong, but when I upgrade releases I do this: make buildworld make installworld reboot <change to conf dir> config <conf> cd ../../conf/<conf> make depend && make && make install && reboot the gist, I think you need to build the world before the kernal....that *might* be your problem, I don't know :).
