Hello!

my situation is a bit messy. I would probably reinstall from the scratch, however, since the server is pretty far away in another town across the country, I would appreciate, if you had any tips that might help me get a ~ working system before I go there again.

I was upgrading from OpenSuSE 64bit 10.0 to 10.1 (via FTP if it's of any significance) and managed to run out of space during the upgrade (I was a bit confused and it was my 1st upgrade try, even though I've been installing dozens of SuSEs at my work -- from scratch only).

Upgrade seemed to complete OK, then I noticed I have 0 bytes free on / (that includes /usr and /var) and started to clean out whatever I could find.

I have now OK free disk space, but I am stuck with these problems at startup/reboot (and not sure if all the system packages have had installed OK):

#1 /dev/ directory is missing majority of files. eg. tty2, tty3... sda, sdb... hda... tty1 thankfully is there as a number of other devices -- ttyI1, ttyI2 etc.

I tried to reinstall devs package which creates those files, but at next reboot they are missing again. Puzzled at what I should do/check?

#2 network is not coming up.

boot.msg shows these errors/warnings (removed most of stuff that completed ok)

Nothing else in /var/log/ regarding eth...

Soo, I assumed for some reason the eth device id was different or something, even though no hardware was changed prior/post upgrade.

Went to YaST, tried to reconfigure eth0 device. Wrote a new IP address, then wrote old one back, clicked OK, Finish. That made rescan network devices, write all neccessary info and that brought up eth0 no prob. But again... at reboot the problem reappears!

Any ideas of what could be done beside reinstall?
