Kernel patch/support pack - sequence

Hi,

I wanted to know if i need to follow up any order in applying latest kernel patch & Support Pack.

Is there any side effects for applying latest kernel patch ?

Kindly help me

Hi,

You should always update your kernel before applying SP, because it's better to use the last version of tp or R3trans for example.

Sometimes you need to update your SPAM/SAINT between the kernel update and the SP.

There is no side effect for applying lastest kernel patch but you shoud save the old one before just in case of...

Hi,

You are correct that you should patch the kernel first and then apply the SP-Stacks.
