I upgraded my x86_64 system from 12.2 to factory trough Yast. Upgrade went well up till installing gimp, then came suddenly to a halt, leaving the system dead.

Your menu.lst lacks linux entries. If update was interrupted, it is hard to guess what happened. May be old kernel was removed but new one not yest installed (not sure how zypper orders transactions). Menu entry for grub2 is leftover from 12.2 and should have been removed by grub2 update, but apparently your system was not far. How did you boot this system if menu.last does not have any menu entry for Linux? What version of grub2 you currently have (i.e. was it updated)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Then rpm will tell you what is installed. However, I'm not sure what the purpose of this bugreport is. It is expected that the system is in an inconsistent state after partial upgrade.

From your bugreport I cannot read why the upgrade was interrupted, no lead. Unless you can provide a lead, I don't think that we can do anything about it...

Non-working GRUB looks to me like a result of failure during upgrade. If you happen to run into similar issue again, please, reopen this bug (or create a new one) and try to find out why upgrade failed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
