Hmm, hard to follow you, but I'll try...

CD-ROM versions are afaik always RELEASE material.

How did ye upgrade yer sources? I hope using cvsup because that's the easiest and
most reliable way IMHO...

Also did ye do a make world? Or did ye do make buildworld or make installworld?

Ehm no, uname reports kernel status. Ye have to remake yer kernel after make
world and reboot.
