I booted from the CD and chose upgrade. My Acer 1501LCe laptop was
already at 11.0-Alpha0 just needed the latest from Factory.
* Got as far as the upgrade summary, then noticed one repo was not what
was required.
* Rebooted and copied across the repo from another x86_64 box.
* Rebooted, but only got as far as selecting the Factory repos when
suddenly the fan really revved up and the laptop powered off. Left it
that way overnight.
* New day and another try, same problem from cold. Rebooted with acpi
off, couldn't get the network configured - a message saying it couldn't
write the config, this time the fan does not speed up and it stays up.
With acpi, I am back to the power off situation.
* Next I booted from the openSUSE-10.3-GM-KDE-x86_64 CD and upgraded
from Factory, ending up with /etc/SuSE-release saying 10.3. "zypper dup"
and dealing with a few dependency problems around gnome-keyring and
finally ended up at 11.0-Alpha0.
* I have one remaining problem on all 11.0 Alpha0 boxen and that is with
YaST (bug #350809 refers) - if a dependency problem arises, I get a tree
view with no way of selecting any of the actions needed to resolve the
conflict and the only way is to CANCEL and mark the package as KEEP.
Selecting a new repository, it doesn't change to it until you click on
another one. Nice GUI, shame about the disfunctionality, but guess it
will come right one day.
Regards
Sid.
