I am currently running 2.2.2. In general you should never upgrade your kernel only. Yes, it works sometimes, but you just discovered an excellent example of why it's a bad idea. The badness of this idea increases geometrically with every release number you skip. If you need help upgrading your system from the source code, please take a look at the "Upgrading from source" tutorial at http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html.
