To be correct, it is not so straightforward.
problem is that there is a reference to the kernel 307 (used in Beta RC7 but
replaced by kernel 308, because 307 killed some servers) and YOU update try
to download it. This kernel do not exists and so
this download never pass and update can't update a kernel.
The remedy is to mount SP4 as an additional installation source and install
kernel 308 manually using yast2 or rpm.
I will retest it all with VMware based SLES9 SP3 (it allows to make a few
tests, using snapshorts), but I am pretty sure that problem do exists
somewhere. May be, it exists only in some rare cases (upgrade from
intermediate state between SP3 and SP4), I do not know.
(Once you try YOU update and system asked for the kernel 307, nothing helps
except direct installation.
System do remember about the kernel 307 somewhere, so it don't work even if
I run 'Patch CD update'.
Direct rpm or yast2 kernel upgrade resolve it, anyway)
