You can use "zypper update -t package" as well. Thanks.
Note these are "unsupported" ways to update which have not really been tested, Are there supported ways?
Someone else's luck may vary, but I have upgraded 3 x86_64 boxes by that method, 1 from 10.2 and the other 2 from Beta2. Regards Sid.
I updated a x86_64 from alpha6 to gm by booting from DVD and choosing update. This left grub in a state, where it does not boot and I couldn't repair with Rescue System and Repair from the DVD. This is probably caused by the fact, that I used xfs as / and have no separate /boot.
All my systems are configured that way, but with ext3 and reiserfs. I did have a similar problem with grub after I removed a failing IDE drive and booted off a new SATA one. I was pointed here and to the Ubuntu wiki by guys on the list http://linuxbraindump.org/2007/08/17/restoring-grub, hopefully this will provide a solution to your grub problem.
