Perhaps make buildkernel was compiled with -j >1, it's known to create a

it's safer do a make -j 1 buildkernel, same for buildworld.

I replaced the kernel with the one on the 8.4 memstick and it booted
just fine. I then built and installed a kernel without using the j
flag to test Eduardo's theory. It booted without problem. Maybe
there's something to this -j >1 causing buggy kernels rumor.

It's possible. But again, I've been using -j >1 for years on a variety of processors, mostly Intel, without problems. That's with buildworld and kernel (which is buildkernel plus installkernel), but not with installworld.

Are you using clang instead of gcc?  That could be very different.
