Hard to say what is going wrong from the information you've 
given.  Though maybe you forgot to run the 'config' command
to generate your kernel source.  

Have you followed these steps (note that the name 'MYKERNEL' 
is just an example, and you should actually name it something 
suitable to your host, like your hostname)? 


Change into the kernel config file directory.
    # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf

Create a kernel config file suitable to your environment.
    # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL ; vi MYKERNEL , etc

Run config(8) to generate the kernel source code.
    # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL

Change into the build directory.
    # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL

Compile the kernel.
    # make depend
    # make

Install the new kernel.
    # make install


The above is pretty much straight from the handbook.

Cheers,

Brent
