Patching Problems?

[coffeysm]

Been running into this problem and it is driving me nuts...was wondering if anyone else experienced it. I apply the latest patch cluster and everything seems all well. I follow the instructions and do a reboot -- -r, but when the system comes back up the output of "uname -a" still shows the old Kernel Revision. Anyone have anything similar to this? There is no errors in my log files..."showrev -p" and "showrev -a" both show the latest, but "uname -a" does not.

That's a little unusual. Can you post the output from those commands?

Wonder if your patch cluster installed completely?

The patch cluster did install correctly with no problems. Here is the output of my commands:

showrev -a

Pretty weird huh?? I have only found one other post on the Internet with a situation like mine and they recommded a boot -r. Which I have done two or three times...
