Why can't I create the carp interface?

Code:
root@Lab:~ # uname -a
FreeBSD Lab 10.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.4-RELEASE #0: Wed Feb 28 23:39:33 CST 2018     root@Lab:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GATEWAY  amd64

1、cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf
2、cp GENERIC GATEWAY
3、ee GATEWAY
# CARP support
device          carp

# PF Firewall support
device          pf
device          pfsync
device          pflog

4、cd /usr/src
5、make buildkernel KERNCONF=GATEWAY
6、make installkernel KERNCONF=GATEWAY
but,if i create carp0,is error
Code:
ifconfig carp0 create
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Invalid argument

Who can help me
 
Code:
root@Lab:~ # cat /boot/loader.conf
carp_load="YES"

but is error
Code:
root@Lab:~ # ifconfig carp0 create
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Invalid argument
and
Code:
root@Lab:~ #  kldload carp
kldload: can't load carp: module already loaded or in kernel
 
This is old way:
Code:
# ifconfig carp0 create

This way for carp v2 in FreeBSD 10.x and later
Code:
ifconfig_em0="inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet vhid 1 pass testpass alias 192.168.1.50/32"
 
You don't need to create a custom kernel to enable carp(4). You can load it as a module.

And as khuman noted, the way carp(4) is configured is different from 10.0 onward. Both ways are explained in the handbook.
