suse 8 basic to suse8 update4 upgrade fails.

[ecorban]

Hi

We have a problem installing an BL20p and BL30P bladed system. we got the suse8 cd's from HP internally. we installed suse8 per the following method as in the docs:

1. we booted of the SUSE SLES 8 cd.
2. it prompted us for the United linux 1.0 ia32-i386 cd sets 1-3. it installed fine and rebooted and setup all the admin stuff.
3. we tried to update to United linux 1.0 SP4 and it wont allow us too. we tried this through yast install ( install and update software options but its doesnt happen)
We need to be able to upgrade to SP 4 as it has the required kernel updates for Securepath and Qlogic failover. we need to go to this but cant figure out how to do this.

has anybody done this ? were pretty much stuck and really need help to resolve this. PLEASE.

I've seen this on the Red Hat side.

Sometimes someone goofs and hardware support for a critical componenent is dropped on a kernel upgrade.

I've got a box thats FC3 in every part except the kernel beczause the 770 kernel causes a panic.

In these cases you need to stop the upgrade and report the big conditions to the appriate bugzilla forum.
