when you did a make world, that only upgraded the userland.  the uname
displays the kernel.

to update the kernel do:

make kernel 
reboot
(give you the GENERIC kernel)

or
make kernel KERNCONF=yourkernelconf
reboot

the proper way should be something similar to this:

cvsup

make buildworld
make kernel KERNCONF=yourkernelconf
reboot
boot single user mode by hitting the space and typing boot -s and
enter. hit enter when it asks you for the shell; then:
fsck -p
umount -a
mount -a

make installworld
mergemaster
reboot

that'll up you to the latest.

(btw, if anyone sees any safely problems with this order, lemme know,
seems totally redundant)
