Hi Carlos,

* Carlos E. R. <carlos.e.r@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [Feb 07. 2010 22:45]:

Has anybody done this, an upgrade from 32 to 64 bits? Does it work? Is it
"supported"?


yes, this is supported.

But you have to boot from the installation medium in order to run the
upgrade with a 64bit kernel running.

Thus a 'zypper dup' from the old system won't work because its still a
32bit kernel running.
