>Description:
I installed 6.0 Release and then updated the source code tree to current.

Then I performed the following:

make buildworld  <This performed fine>
make buildkernel <This performed <fine>
make installkernel <This failed..complaining of no audit group>

I then looked at the UPDATING file to see what it suggested I do differently from the normal sequence that always worked before.

Then I tried:

make kernel KERNCONF=GENERIC  <This failed..complaining of no audit group>

Then I ran:  mergemaster -p

The result was that it showed me that /etc/group had not been updated with the changes that are supposed to be made before running the make buildworld sequence.

So I made the noted changes to the /etc/group file and ran <make kernel KERNCONF=GENERIC> again.  Then it was successful.  I ran make installworld and it failed with touch not being able to locate a file.  (I cannot recall where it was in the script, but it was pretty close to the initial part of its run.  This was done in single user mode.

I booted back up to multiuser run level and thinking that the experiment was a failure decided that I would reinstall 6.0 Release...but...I thought what would it hurt if I were to run the following:

make buildworld installworld

<and then>

mergemaster
reboot

This brought me to the present state of the system where the system has hung at the step following:

Starting sshd.

<I will let you know if the system has just been busy timing out or whether I have to type a <CTRL>-C to abort the script>

I sincerely hope that I have been of help to you.
