I updated via 12.1 x86_64 dvd and because I maintain multimedia, I included a few build service repos in thye upgrade. I used zypper dup from 11.3 to 11.4 without problems but this time there are problems which I assume stem from /var/run being a tempfs. I've searched threads on this list and factory list and googling only brought up similar Ubuntu problems but no real help. First problem was having to manually "ifup eth0" to get my network going, I've fixed that with adding "ifup eth0" to "/etc/init.d/boot.local" but the other problem has me stumped. As kde is starting it halts on a message box stating a similar message to this syslog one, clicking ok continues to desktop : pam_systemd(xdm-np:session): Failed to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

Thinking that this was caused by the tempfs I also created the dbus directory in boot.local but it doesn't fix anything. I'm surprised that no one has reported a bug and it seems I'm the only one to have this problem, it's maybe leftover from my 11.4 kernel getting mangled when I recompiled with certain extra cdc_phonenet options and then when I updated my non openSUSE VirtualBox-4.1 to 4.1.8 my network died. I fixed this with the 11.4 tumbleweed kernel.

Please help, here's a section of my /var/log/messages with lots of the above error message and my boot.msg is at http://pastebin.com/Zpn9AnTp , I'm a bit nervous using pastebin for this so it expires after one day. :
