Not quite the same but we have had issues with upgrades from SLES10 SP4 to 
SLES1 SP2.

For mainframe dasd devices if files in /etc/sysconfig/hardware do not have the 
'layer2' statements then /etc/udev/rules.d files were not built properly
We have avoided that now by ensuring layer2 statements are there

For hipersockets we also found issues
I had to re-configure using yast - then files are created properly in 
/etc/udev/rules.d

We have not yet upgraded any servers with zfcp devices yet 
Having to reconfig all san devices could be a big deal- hopefully will not have 
issues there

We upgraded to kernel level  3.0.80-0.5-default 
We also use SMT server

Scary to have such an issue just going from 3.0.58 to 3.0.74

Subject: zfcp devices missing after patching

Our last successful patching cycle was to level 3.0.42 with no issues with our 
zfcp devices.  Since we experienced the /dev/urandom issue we upgraded only the 
kernel to level 3.0.58-0.6.6.1.5402.0.PTF to resolve the issue.  Now we are 
going through a complete patch cycle with an upgrade to version 3.0.74 of 
kernel.  We use smt and basically upgrade all the patches to a set date that we 
mirror from full to testing.  Now after patching and reboot, the servers come 
up with no LUNs attached (we have the root file system on eckd, but program and 
data files are on LUNs).  If I add them back in with zfcp_disk_configure that 
seems to resolve the issue and the servers reboot with no issues.  Any ideas 
what may be causing this?
