Mark, Thanks for the reply. For the first time, SuSE had a good response time. The whole problem started with a mix up on the proper key to register. It did not raise it's ugly head until we attempted a kernel upgrade for a specific install. All is good again after registering the proper key and being able to download the proper patches.
