Eltan, The actual problem is the fact you installed the kernel, booted the new kernel and are using the "old" world.
You can boot the old kernel and do a make installworld and it will work. The world and the kernel will have problems, especially if there are major version differences between the new and old builds! Keep the kernel the same version of the world by installing world and kernel at the same time.
