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 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
