Okay thanks for the quick reply, I already found some posts at various places which say offline upgrade or change of architecture should rather work. Now it all boils down to specifying an additional location of the patch rpm packages in ly locally mirrored update folder from the update servers of the opensuse project. It is
Don't run the updates during the system upgrade. You run the upgrade first. The DVD will not see the partition, you will have to manually enter it; then the installer will complain in red letters or something. Just go ahead. Well, better made a full backup in advance. After the upgrade (do not attempt graphical mode yet, probably will crash), you have to search and update all remaining packages from the wrong architecture. Try: rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}\t%{INSTALLTIME:day} \ %{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME}\t%15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE}\t%{arch} \ %25{VENDOR}%25{PACKAGER} == %{DISTRIBUTION} %{DISTTAG}\n" \ | sort | cut --fields="2-" | tee rpmlist \ | egrep -v "x86_64" | | egrep -v "noarch" | less -S which will list all 32 bit packages, and other things, but not many. Some of the 32 bit packages do not have 64 bit versions, like grub. You can create a mirror of the oss and non-oss repos, and point the updater to them, yes. But do not add the update repos initially, it complicates things. After purging the remaining 32 bit packages, and booting, you can attempt a zypper patch or yast online update, in graphical mode if you wish. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
