  Wrong order actually.  Buildworld first, then the kernel, then reboot.

  If you had built world first you would not see this.  Basically "config"
is out of date.  You could force things a long by just rebuilding that and
then building a kernel.  But if you try to boot with this new kernel you
run the risk of your old utils like ifconfig/route/mount etc not being
able to talk to the new kernel and there your machine won't start
properly.  So avoid all that and buildworld first :)
