Hi Folks,

I,m having problem to update my vanilla Sles 9 version - 64 Bits to SP2


I have an existing SLES9 GA - 64 Bits and trying to
install the SP2 update.

I down loaded the three ISO files from the SuSE
Portal. All checked out ok
with MD5SUM.
 
I then uploaded them to a SLES9 system that we use as a software repository.

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 ?
  
 
Installation Tree:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   17 Oct 21 11:41 media.1 -> sles9/CD1/media.1
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Oct 19 17:15 sles9  drwxr-xr-x  9 root root 4096 
Oct 20 10:14 sp2-9
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Oct 19 17:22 yast

It would be good if SOMEONE FROM SUSE COULD CLARIFY this - when upgrading
from a vanilla SLES system to an SP2 level, should you point at an
integrated install tree or just the mounted SP CDs?  


Thanks.
