But pass a puzzle to me! For your info, I downloaded opensuse 10.2-GM-i386 and stated upgrade. After swappung files, Suse 10.2 asks for rebooting. And so it happened. But then the problem occured. I searched internet for programming codes. I changesd to boot suse 10.1 for analyzing the problem. I couldn't understand the lines with 'sed', so I searched an other way to extract values of MemTotal and SwapTotal, wich I found with 'awk'. At first I thought SwapTotal had no value, and I tested fot that, first on '10.1' and then again on 10.2'. SwapTotal was empty! Then: if SwapTotal had no value, SWAPTOTAL should be '0' (zero). Even then the summation reported an error. Then, I catched (not touch!) /proc/meminfo to my home directory ON 10.1. EMPTY! NOTHING! NIENTE! Summation of MEMTOT and SWAPTOT starts with analysing of the existance of /proc/meminfo but not for testing it was empty. Testing for that worked very well! Finally I could start up OpenSUSE 10.2 for the first time. BTW: I didn't mount or unmout procfs. If the system does mount yes or no at the right time, I cant see. /var/log/boot.msg is not yet written to disk at the time of error. I am not an programming expert and shall never be. Be happy with my report and keep on with puzzling problems like this. I you find the final solution please pass that one also to me. Merry Xmas and a happy new year.
