Did you reboot after installing the 6.0 Kernel and before the installworld?
This ensures that the 6.0 Kernel works on your system before the 6.0
binaries are installed.

You'll need to ensure that you have the debugging options enabled in
the 6.0 kernel, this way your kernel will hopefully break to the
debugger when the problem reoccurs.

See the handbooks chapter on debugging for more details.
