[opensuse-kernel] upgrade from i586 to x86_64 obstacle
On a test system with 12.2 I decided I want to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit rather than install fresh, as a test. I've done it before, but this time I noticed YaST decided all repos needed to be deleted. A byproduct of this is the BS version of xorg-x11-server[1] cannot be upgraded to 64 bit, giving me nonsensical choices to resolve, #3 of which is not keeping the 32 bit kernel installed.

Upgrade online? I doubt it is even possible. Offline yes, and there repos are mostly irrelevant. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Hybrid offline, started via installation kernel and initrd with Grub, to target partition that is clone of existing installation with UUID and label changed. I aborted that after sending OP, then again started via installation kernel and initrd with Grub, but to skeleton target partition that is clone of existing installation with UUID and label changed, *and* most system dirs deleted (bin, dev, lib, sys, usr, var, sbin, &&&) but root data (e.g. /root/.bashrc,.bash_history,.config,etc), config files (e.g. HOSTNAME,hosts,profile.local,smb.conf,exports,/etc/zypp/repos.d/,etc) and their in-place backups (e.g. /etc/sysconfig/displaymanag02er,fonts-conf02ig,nf02s,resolv.conf.latest) left intact. The goal today was twofold: 1:switch 12.2 to 64 bit (hung in YaST firstboot repo downloading step @13:56; now rebooted OK) 2:upgrade 12.2 to Factory (from 1st clone to a second clone, with zypper, yet to do) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
