Ok, so I obtained the latest release of the kernel source, and I

what it said to do in the /usr/src/Makefile. Here's what it says

# 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source
tree).

# 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is

# 5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader

Because this is my first time trying to install the kernel, I'm
just using
the GENERIC configuration (will fix it once I figure out the correct
process). Here's the errors I get when doing installkernel:
make installkernel
ERROR: Required audit group is missing, see /usr/src/UPDATING.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src.
The big problem is that nothing in /usr/src/UPDATING really
explains why it
is doing this or what I need to change. Here's what it says:
20060204:
The 'audit' group was added to support the new auditing
functionality
in the base system. Be sure to follow the directions for
updating,
including the requirement to run mergemaster -p.
As far as the Makefile goes, I am building and installing the makefile
correctly. Is there anything else I need to add?
You need to merge your /etc/groups and the new /etc/groups that
contains the audit group.
# mergemaster -p
then start over.
BTW, /usr/src/UPDATING is the definitive source for how to update
your system/kernel.
