Hi,
Like you, I also initially skipped the following marked lines from /usr/src/UPDATING:
make buildkernel KERNEL=<YOUR_KERNEL_HERE>
make installkernel KERNEL=<YOUR_KERNEL_HERE>
# Verify that the new kernel works, it will be installed as
# /YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
chflags noschg /kernel <---
chflags noschg /YOUR_KERNEL_HERE <---
mv /kernel /kernel.old <---
mv /YOUR_KERNEL_HERE /kernel <---
chflags schg /kernel <---
"make installkernel" simply copies the built kernel into /MYKERNEL, and so those marked lines above are needed to (a) zap the old kernel away (actually, just renamed as /kernel.old) and then (b) copy the new kernel in.
If you didn't do those steps, you'll simply be running the OLD kernel which in most cases will be the GENERIC or worse yet, your old 3.x kernel.
Hope this helps,
-T.W.Chan-
