Ok, so I obtained the latest release of the kernel source, and I followed what it said to do in the /usr/src/Makefile. Here's what it says in the Makefile: # For individuals wanting to upgrade their sources (even if only a # delta of a few days): # # 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). # 2. `make buildworld' # 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # 5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt). # 6. `mergemaster -p' # 7. `make installworld' # 8. `make delete-old' # 9. `mergemaster' # 10. `reboot' # 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore) # 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? Thanks, Jonathan Herriott
