alright, after a little tinkering i found this solution ... it's not a pretty
one (opensuse still needs to fix this problem in the 11.3 distro) but it works:
1. make a clean install of opensuse 11.2
2. go through all updates during installation
3.when install is complete, delete the 11.2 dvd- (oss) and the cd (non-oss)
repositories
4. add the 11.3 dvd- and cd-repositories
5. change the online repositories to 11.3 (i.e.
download.opensuse.org/distribition/11.2/repo/oss/ -->
download.opensuse.org/distribition/11.3/repo/oss/)
6. open terminal and switch to root privileges (type: su - and:
yourrootpassword)
7. type: zypper ref
8. type: zypper dup (distribution upgrade)
9. resolve depedency conflicts
10. execute distritribution upgrade
11. when done, type: zypper clean
12. reboot your computer (any other systems [windows, ubuntu, etc] will not
show in the initial boot menu, do not panic)
13. goto yast->system->bootloader
14. delete all boot option with the old kernel (i.e 11.3 installed 2.6.34...,
but there were still 11.2's 2.6.31s... on the menu)
15. select opensuse 2.6.34... (default) as your default boot option
16. activate any non-opensuse boot options (i.e. windows, ubuntu, etc)
17. click: ok, reboot, and 11.3 works
(18. install any software you need)
again, this is tedious and novell really needs to fix 11.3's bootloader issue
good luck, theo
