You are not the first to have such problems.
(And it has been discussed on this list before. Please search the archives.)
For me the cause was that I did not use /boot/loader to load the kernel but
loaded the kernel directly by specifying it in /boot.config.
If you have a file /boot.config then remove it (or rename it) and reboot.
If that doesn't help I am afraid I can't help you.
