okay
I did everything caf said. Deleted all Repos, deleted all content of these three folders. Then added the three repos and clicked Online-Update in Yast. There were these dang checksum errors again.
Then i tried what palladium said, deleted all repos again, added the three caf gave me again.(not packman, cause I know this one works). typed
su -
then
zypper up
got Checksum error from NONOSS and Update, but not on OSS.
Please copy the error form the terminal to here:

I closed the konsole where I did it originally.
So I typed “zyyper up” again, and it didn’t update OSS, but don’t know why.
Were you unable to add repos via Yast?
Well I can add them with yast, when it tries, if the repo exists, all works. But when I finish it, it tries to update the repos and gets the checksum error. I tried nvidia(http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.2/) and the google(http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386) repo just to try if others work, but they don’t
Delete them all again with yast.
Repository Management - openSUSE Forums
Add back oss, non-oss, update with the URL method
When done, open Software Management, get to view by repository
select update
And from Package menu, do update all in this list if newer avail
accept
Umm I did it with the URL-method. and OSS worked, Non-oss and update didn’t again. But yast won’t save them when an error occurs when updating them. So Software Management only shows the OSS repo.
Whatever medium you used to install with, check it for errors:

please answer these questions:
when you installed openSUSE 11.2 did you install over 11.1 or some
previous openSUSE? did you do a format>install, or did you upgrade?
if it has been your practice to upgrade rather that format>install,
when was the last time you did the format?
did you have any errors during the initial install? you may have
been given the option to abort or to continue, which did you do?
did you download your install media from software.opensuse.org? if
so, did you check the md5sum of the iso prior to burning the disk? did
you after burning the disk do this http://tinyurl.com/yajm2aq prior to
doing the install?
did your YaST ever work correctly? like the first couple of days at
least? you said this began about two weeks ago: what software did you
install, or what tweaks did you make in the week/days just prior to
this problem popping up?
do you often or have you logged into KDE/Gnome/XFCE/other GUI as root?
NOTE: these are all just questions, NOT direction for you to try
anything or do anything…(i say that because last week i somebody
some similar things and s/he came back and said (something like) i
logged in as root and that didn’t fix it…

@ caf:
I checked my installation cd, there are no errors.
@palladium
I intalled 11.2 over 11.1. I did this since 10.3
I actually never formated. I installed 10.3 and upgraded every single version. It always worked fine.
I never had an error during install. Except the internet connection didn’t work, because I had no ethernet cable plugged in.
4.I got my CD from a magazine
5.I think it never worked in 11.2, but im not 100% sure.
6.I logged in as root in KDE before, but not since I have 11.2
Considering the trouble you are having and the time invested in it - I would seriously consider a complete format. You’ll benefit from a squeaky clean system and ext4 file system (which you may or may not have.)
Look at it this way. It takes me just over 15 mins to complete a install and probably another hour or so two to put all my settings and files in place and run all the updates and install all the apps I use.
It’s a no brainer

i agree…which is way i asked my Q1 and Q2…there is just NO
telling what might be hanging around from 10.x…especially since
everyone here has been recommending a format-fresh-install for all at
least two out of the three steps from 10.3 to 11.2
@kannnte, just backup your /home and all data then do a fresh
install…because something is gumming up the works…

Okay
I did a complete new install. The first I did, was adding the OSS, NON-OSS and Update repo. And OSS and NON-OSS are working now.
But Update still has a checksum error. This is driving me crazy!
But a New install would already have those repos by default! So why would you need to add them?
Sorry I guess I got that wrong. They were there, I just disabled the debug and source repo.
So where was the install dvd from?
From a german computer magazine called c’t.
Can you download the dvd or cd?
Software.openSUSE.org
reinstall with that

then you should ask that magazine why their version of openSUSE
installs a YaST with debug and source enabled and without OSS, non-OSS
and update repos installed and enabled…
so, you need to join the c’t forum and get THEM to help you…how
does that sound?
and, while talking to them please do these three things for me:
smack them for providing you with a system install disk that is
born broken
kick them for not telling you that their disk is so unique that you
can’t expect to get help from the openSUSE community
SHOUT at them for wasting 11 your days, and lots of helper time here

Well thanks alot for helping me.
Ill get another DVD from somewhere, and I’ll kick c’ts butt.
