I haven't done a service apply to the 64 bit yet....
But when I did it to the 31 bit, you had to register the SP to Linux
first.
It was part of YAST.
Software
Change Source of Installation
Add the SP above the other sources
Now you can do a SP upgrade.

Hi all,
I have an existing SLES9 GA - 64 Bits and trying to
install the SP2 update.
I downloaded the six SLES 9 ISO files from the SuSE
Portal.
I downloaded the three SP2 ISO files from the SuSE
Portal.
I then uploaded them to a SLES9 - 64 Bits system that we use
as a software repository.
I ran MKLES9ROOT and created the installation tree (bellow described)
Tried using FTP 'system update' and then tried the 'patch update'
The system update ran and then stopped at or near the end of CD1.
It would not pick up on CD2.
I tried copyng CD1 and CD2 to xxx, created CD1 link
and register xxx as a instalation
source and didn t work either.
In both cases it would not pick up on CD2. Various
messages thru the
attempts as
FTP and local directory, all seem to be that it
cannot find the media
or CD2.
I do not recall having these types of problems with
SP1 on SLES9 - 64 Bits.
Anyone successfully applied the SP2 to an existing
SLES9 GA - 64 Bits ?
