Hello, even if you found some road bumps, your mail sounds promising for arch- changing upgrades. Am Freitag, 11. September 2015 schrieb Felix Miata:

Coolo is talking about people testing 32-bit to 64-bit upgrades, using the Leap media
I decided to try an HTTP one from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.1-Current/repo/os s/,> <snip at the first mistake>
What exactly was "first mistake"?
I'd _guess_ Richard means using a way that is (probably) rarely used - while this is fine in general, it might bring in some additional unknown issues to an already interesting[tm] question. That said - from your description I'd say you know what you are doing ;-) so using the network install way shouldn't be a big problem here.
Select the Upgrade option
I added Upgrade=1 to Grub cmdline. Eventually it finished evaluating "root" partition, though root partition count on the machine is actully 6, and gave 3 to choose from. None of those 3 were the desired 32 bit target, so I selected show all, and selected the i586
The 3 shown partitions contained 64 bit openSUSE systems, right? The installer only lists root partitions with the same architecture by default (unless you select "show all"), so this sounds correct.
13.2 partition, whereupon it announced "The architecture of the system instealled in the selected partition is different from the one of this product."
Next it complained some devices are mounted by name. It shouldn't matter in this case, because the only partitions mounted by device name are non-native types on which boot success does not depend. Native partitions here are mounted by LABEL.
It's just a warning ;-) (= "not an error" *g*)
Next it announced removal of more repositories than were configured, more than what fits a 900px tall screen without scrolling by rougly 25%. Upgrade installation process is apparently counting every uri-containing file in /etc/zypp/repos.d/ rather than those with filenames ending in .repo that actually get used by zypp/yast. Actual valid *.repo file count is 9, plus repo-update-non-oss.repo which is zero bytes. The in place "backup", files normally ignored by zypp/yast, file count is 37.
Please open a bugreport for that and attach the YaST logs.
Next it announced no repositories were defined, even though this was included in /proc/cmdline output:
install=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.1-Current/re po/oss/
That's probably worth another bugreport (including the YaST logs again).
Next screen was installation summary, where conspicuously present was replacement of grub-0.97-194.1.2.i586 (from 13.1, as that from 13.2 is broken: BOO 918028) on / partition with with Grub2 on sda4, with the apparently contradictory but otherwise OK do not install bootcode into MBR or / partition.
"Cannot resolve all conflicts. Manual Intervention is required." Packages to update: 844. New to install: 483. To remove: 61. I
I'm a bit surprised by the large number of new packages (was the old system installed without recommends?), but in general this looks good and promising.
proceeded into resolution, clicked on a few remove locks, then OK, and the GUI crashed, leaving the framebuffer announcing an error occurred during the installation. I saved the logs, then gave up:
http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/Factory/GX780-y2leap/
Maybe crash is https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=941398 and I can try again when fix shows up on mirrors?
Yes, that sounds like this bug. Please try again when fixed installation repos are available - my guess is that the arch-changing upgrade should work. Regards, Christian Boltz --
