Try zypper from the command line; total failure. Look at the repositories; all except update set for 12.1. Update is at 12.2. I guess that's where the upgrade went wrong? Delete all the old ones except 12.2 update; now get hundreds of dependency failures.
Try again, after restoring those you deleted, or at least oss and non-oss. Then edit them, replacing instances of 12.1 with 12.2. Then try zypper ref. If it succeeds, do 'zypper in zypper rpm glibc openSUSE-release mkinitrd', followed by 'zypper dup'. If not, provide the error messages here. OR: Edit your menu.lst to include an installation stanza, and put a 12.2 installation linux and initrd from $REPO/oss/boot/$ARCH/loader/ where Grub can find them. Such a stanza I used recently (adjust to taste according to http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc): title Install openSUSE 12.2 kernel (hd0,2)/boot/suse122/linux showopts install=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.2/repo/oss/ hostname=myhost hostip=192.168.0.2/24 gateway=192.168.0.1 nameserver=8.8.8.8 kexec_reboot=0 vga=794 video=1152x864 ipv4.only=1 lang=en keytable=us initrd (hd0,2)/boot/suse122/initrd Most of my installs and upgrades I do this way, rarely burning an iso or booting something other than a HD. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
