Config gets out of date as things get moved around, and you don't really want a kernel that's inconsistant with the rest of you system anyway. You don't mention what version of FreeBSD you currently have installed or which set of sources (2.2-stable, 3-stable, 4-current) you're trying to build a kernel from. You almost certainly need to do a 'make world', to update your system binaries, and may need to do use one of the more specialized targets 'aout-to-elf' or 'upgrade'. Then build your new kernel. -- I've always wanted to be a dilettante, but I've never quite been ready to make the commitment.
