Migration to SLED11 SP4 from SP3 does not add all repos

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop SLED Updates
1

Hello!

I have a problem, that migration to SLED11 SP4 from SP3 does not add all repositories. It only adds ATI-Driver-SLE11-SP4 and nVidia-Driver-SLE11-SP4 repositories. My system believes that it can update the existing video drivers, but the new ones break the system (it cannot run X server, so I reverted them back to ones from SP3 repo).

Furthermore I discovered that I cannot add repositories based on updates.suse.com (from SCC):

Permission to access 'https://updates.suse.com/repo/$RCE/SLED11-SP4-Pool/sle-11-x86_64/repo/repoindex.xml' denied.

The only repositories I have access are based on nu.novell.com server (from NCC), but I see no SP4 repos there except:

https://nu.novell.com/repo/$RCE/SLE11-SDK-SP4-Updates/sle-11-x86_64/ https://nu.novell.com/repo/$RCE/SLE11-SDK-SP4-Pool/sle-11-x86_64/

But it looks like in SCC my registration looks like correct (EMEA SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 HP-BNB 3 Year Subscription, which expires in 2018).

Hi
How did you migrate, via YaST wagon?

On SP3 can you post your repo list?

zypper lr -d

Well, the update was offered automatically, but it said that no repos need to be changed.

After that, I tried to migrate using zypper and got only driver SP4 repos.

Here is my repo list:

As you see, ATI and nVidia SP4 repositories were added automatically, and SDK SP4 repos I added for test (just to see whether I have access to them or not).

Remove all repos with zypper or YAST. Then re-register your SLED-installation:

su

suse_register -E

suse_register -r -i -n -a regcode-sled= -a email= -a moniker= -L /tmp/suse_register.log

=> See “# suse_register --help” for more information.

Unfortunately, this does not help (output of “suse_register” command is below):
