Thank you for your extensive answer. I tried both your method and the 
method described in the handbook*. I still get the same error message 
though**. I have attached MYKERNEL, maybe you can take a look at it to 
see if somethings wrong?

**Building a Kernel*

   1.

      Change to the /usr/src directory:

      # cd /usr/src
          

   2.

      Compile the kernel:

      # make buildkernel KERNCONF=/MYKERNEL/
          

   3.

      Install the new kernel:

      # make installkernel KERNCONF=/MYKERNEL/
          

**
Error message
login: NVRM: AGP cannot be enabled on this combination of the AMD CPU 
and OS kernel
NVRM: kernel upgrade recommended.
