Probably.  Running a kernel and world from seperate source tree 
revisions is so problematic that the very first thing anyone will tell 
you is to sync your kernel and world, regardless of the question you 
asked.  You can (sometimes) get away with it on an errata branch, but 
across release versions, on -STABLE and on -CURRENT, you're begging for 
an automatic podiatric firearm actuator device.
