Thank you for all the information and work.

All the steps you mentioned (distro-query, systemimager etc.) are exact
the points we have a look at the moment too.

I send you our patches as soon as we tried the "workarounds" for the
issues with yume and systemimager on x68_64. Maybe we need to change
something again.

This would be ok because we only need openSUSE 10.2 client images.

As mentioned above we try everything on openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 and tell if
there are problems again and send you patches.

Do you need the only the binary .x86_64.rpm's or the src.rpm's too?
I send both after the fresh testinstallation.
