Don't send questions to two lists please.

 * i CVSUPed a fresh copy of src-sys with the tag RELENG_2_2 (i erased my
 * /usr/src/sys)  and found out that it made 2 directories in /usr/src. it
 * created 'lkm' and 'sys' (of course, because i deleted it). what's the
 * 'lkm' directory for?
 * 
 * anyways, i successfuly compiled the kernel using my OLD conf file. the
 * problem is, the kernel won't boot! it just keeps on rebooting!

Well, you just answered your question: the lkm's are out of date!
Boot with -s, do a "fsck -p" and "mount -a -t ufs", then edit
/etc/rc.conf to disable lkms (screen savers, linux emul, etc.).
