Thanks for your answer but I am looking for a solution to get the newest updates on another machine, since the machine, that needs the updates, is offline.
So my plan is to get the Updates/patches for 12.1 on machine A and transfer them to machine B with a freshly installed OpenSuSE 12.1 to perform the update from some directory there.
Have you thought about mirroring the repositories that you use, i.e., by rsync? You will download packages that you don't have installed, but if bandwidth on A is less a problem, that could get you working. See http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mirror_infrastructure how to get these files. In particular, the rsync module opensuse-updates is of interest. Use rsync option --exclude to limit your downloads to 12.1. When you have the files, you can transfer them to your system B by any means that you device and declare that as a local md repo.

That did the trick! In a relative short time I was able to rsync one of the mirrors that are nearby, Tarred the directories. Splitted the larger tar files to 2GB chunks onto some USB FAT32 disk and then I was able to transfer the files to the new machine, cat the tar chunks there, unpacked it and then I was able to update from the directory. The newer kernel was installed but when I did a shutdown the fake-RAID1 was put into "Verify"-state which ended up in another 4-5hrs raid-verify under Windows 7. So now I have a decent offline update and the newest kernel for 12.1 but the error with connect-debounce remains. :-( ----- Ursprüngliche Message ----- Von: Joachim Schrod <jschrod@acm.org> An: opensuse@opensuse.org Cc: Gesendet: 2:11 Dienstag, 14.Februar 2012 Betreff: [opensuse] Re: Offline Update of SuSE ?
