Hi All,
Could someone give me a pointer on a kernel update please ?
We have installed SLES 10 SP3, 64 bit (6 core CPU). The customer is requesting we install kernel patch 7568 due to security improvements. (Kernel is here)
a) Is that patch definitely OK for 64 bit ? It mentions i586/x86 only, no mention of x86_64.
b) Am I right in thinking I need to install only the one rpm, the smp kernel "kernel-smp-2.6.16.60-0.79.1.i586.rpm" ? Output from uname is Kernel 2.6.16.60-0.54.5-smp. So I don't want the default kernel ? Or any of the other rpm's available under that patch ?
Thanks for your help in avoiding any midnight disasters.
