https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896474 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896474#c0 Summary: No upgrade offered at all using current factory iso wanting to upgrade present local system on sda? Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 201409* Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Upgrade Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: abittner@abittner.de QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 No upgrade offered at all using current factory iso wanting to upgrade present local system on sda? I am having that other bug that I actually upgraded a 13.1 or so opensuse 32bit via zypper dup to factory and it never booted again hanging at loading initrd during bootloader stage (grub2 or so) see my other bugreport: #bnc894763 bnc#894763 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=894763 and I tried to use the downloaded .iso image openSUSE-Factory-DVD-i586-Snapshot20140901-Media.iso via an usb stick and boot the install process from there and try to fix my local installtion or its booting problems, but the installer on the .iso media would never offer me to upgrade the locally present /dev/sda2 (which is root / , sda1 = swap) all it shows is to create new partition layout or add sda2 and sda3 as new root or home and so on, but it would not install "over" the current already existing but messed up factory system on the local sata disk. is upgrade not implemented yet or what is wrong here? i am stuck with a completely disabled system for weeks now :( thanks.

Or you can do an online upgrade with zypper dup -- 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.
