Does make world build a kernel?  I didn't think so, and OP's message
indicates that make world is all he did.  I suspect re-install is the
best answer now.

Will somebody please tell me when "make world" is ever correct in the
environment of the last several years?  I've been unable to understand
its continued existence as a target.
