I just installed patch 5 (5.1B-3), but uname shows the
same verion as I had before:
uname -va
OSF1 oak V5.1 2650 alpha
My previous version was 5.2B PK4.
I ran versw:
versw -switchFailure to switch versions because the new version is older than than the active
version
Patch tracking shows the 5.B-3 installed:

The patch install seemed to go smooth. I ran with single user mode with network.
I did the kernel build, replaced the kernel, and rebooted.
Any reason why the version string did not change?
File that I used = T64V51BB26AS0005-20050502.tar

V5.1B-3 is merely a product specification for a specific release. V5.1B-3 is
in fact exactly identical to V5.1B except it includes the New Hardware
Delivery 7 CD (I think its 7) and PatchKit 3.
The only way to confirm if you have this particular revision installed is:
# sizer -v
# dupatch -track -type kit

Check the status of the patch log and see if any new events were logged in
the event log
/var/adm/patch/log/

Uname doesn't change. Never has. Check sizer -v which should show that you
have the new kernel. Can't say why versw wasn't happy; never really managed
to understand the rules it tries to apply to sort things out.

From ems
Have you tried command
/usr/sbin/sizer -v
