Both RHEL and SLES follow the same philosophy of sticking with one kernel level throughout the life of a particular release. So, SLES9 will always be at 2.6.5. SUSE has been pretty good about integrating new function from the IBM developers in the past, so it's possible this has been/will be put into their 2.6.5 kernel. You might want to ask your support provider if that's the case. Or an "rpm -q --changelog kernel-package-name | less" might have some indication of that.

I've started messing around with cryptsetup and some of the stuff mentions kernel 2.6.10. I am currently running SLES9 with a 2.6.5 kernel and I have SP3. Is there a way to get to 2.6.10 to run under zVM? What is the latest and greatest without making the jump to SLES10?
