If I don't reply to mails in the next hours - I'm attempting an in-place upgrade of my 32-bit system to 64. Just to see if Zypper et all. like me :D
Please document the process. I would like to do something like that on my Li-f-e box too.
My advice: don't.
Ok, I managed, but only with an openSUSE DVD and quite a few hours of un-breaking my system ;-)
The idea is that you first do the kernel, than reboot, do zypper/rpm/etc and the rest. But after doing the kernel it missed the modules to mount my root so game over there... Interesting, I have done it many times with no side effects as yet. I start with editing /etc/zypp/zypp.conf where it describes the architecture which is normally autodetected there I put x86_64 then run zypper ref followed by zypper dup and finaly reboot with 64.

Do you think this also works from x86_64 to i586?
thanks, --kdl
If there are things to document, we should add it to http://upgrade.opensuse.org. Much of what we've pointed out on this thread on how to do upgrades is already mentioned on this page. But as always, it needs to be regularly polished. In fact, looking at it right now, I see 12.1 is not listed as one of the "tested" versions.
