I have a SuSE Enterprise Server v9 server that I *think* I applied SP1 to, but can't verify. I was assuming /etc/SuSE-release would be updated, but it still has: SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (i586) VERSION = 9 Does SuSE have any way to see if it's running SP1 or am I limited to looking at rpm versions? cjs

SPident can give you some idea of your patch level

SPident will tell you what you have installed and what not.
or am I limited to looking at rpm versions?
The only truth are the rpm versions. Everybody can edit a text file, so the content of such a file would be meaningless.

well, what kernel are you on as of now? Still 2.6.5? I believe SP1 bumps you up to 2.6.7 or 2.6.9, I can't quite remember as to I haven't installed SP1 yet. If you applied the sp, then your kernel should have been updated as well. mike
No, the kernel version stayed at 2.6.7, SPIdent is the right way... $ uname -a Linux lupo 2.6.5-7.155.29-smp #1 SMP Thu Jun 2 12:07:05 UTC 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ SPident CONCLUSION: ServicePack Level: SLES-9-i386 + "updates" => superseded by SLES-9-i386-SP1 -- Viele Grüße ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael Behrens

No, all kernels for SLES9 are 2.6.5. In service pack 1 you got 2.6.5-7.139, and in service pack 2 you'll get 2.6.5-something_else These aren't kernel.org 2.6.5 kernels of course, SUSE patch their kernels heavily, so there are many bug fixes and other things from later versions.
