You don't say what you did, but the README file distributed with
nxml-mode says:

/--------
| To get things automatically loaded each time you start Emacs, add
|
|   (load "~/nxml-mode-200YMMDD/rng-auto.el")
|
| to your .emacs, where ~/nxml-mode-200YMMDD is the directory containing
| the .elc files.  Note that rng-auto.el does not load all of the
| nxml-mode code; it merely sets things up so that all the features of
| nxml-mode will be autoloaded properly.  You should not try to autoload
| rng-auto.el itself.
|
| To use nxml-mode automatically for files with an extension of xml,
| xsl, rng or xhtml, add
|
|   (setq auto-mode-alist
|         (cons '("\\.\\(xml\\|xsl\\|rng\\|xhtml\\)\\'" . nxml-mode)
|             auto-mode-alist))
|
| to your .emacs.
