This is now fun, upgrading a dom0 to SP1 with yast and an internet-connection
is complicated (involves handing over your dom0 to another suse-update-server)
and didnt work for me.
I ended up updating the installed packages with the ones from the SP1-cd-isos
by hand (rpm -Fvh) and checking with SPident (from SP1) that the new packages 
are complete.

If the updating with yast to SP1 doesnt work for you your could also open
up a call at suse, after all you pay for the enterprise-stuff. Didnt want to
do that.
For later updating its good to set up a yup (yast update proxy), this requires
the credentials of one sles10sp1-machine to fetch updates.

rug on other SP1-servers and domU can then be configured to use the internal
yup for updating (just used this in the SLES10 and SLES10SP1-lines though, not
the upgrade to SP1).
