Hi!

What did you download with cvsup? The system sources or the ports tree?

If you indeed downloaded the system sources with cvsup, then just
recompiling the kernel does you no good, since you'll be left with new
kernel and old userland programs, which won't work together (at least
not in usable way). You need to rebuild the entire OS, as described in
the Handbook chapter 21 ("using make world"). Portupgrade has nothing
to do with it.

This looks like the new kernel was actually compiled but installing it
failed. If you haven't followed the "make world" procedure then the
system has actually protected you from shooting yourself in the foot,
because, as I said, running new kernel with old userland programs is no
good. You need to build the new userland first
