Environment

Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9

Situation

After upgrading to Support Pack 3 the Runlevel Editor does not show the Services.

Resolution

The system has not updated to SP3 completely. Use the latest SPident versionand run the following command on the console:
SPident -vvv

You may notice that all or some of the YaST packages are not updated to the SP3level. Upgrade these packages. All the Services should appear in Runlevel Editor.An example of the above SPident output is cited below. The 2 packages:
- yast2 2.9.87-0.3 < 2.9.89-0.3
- yast2-core 2.9.94-1.8 < 2.9.97-0.3

need to be updated to the versions 2.9.89-0.3 and 2.9.97-0.3 respectively.
