+Thx, after I selected '1' urpmi told me that the package sysvinit is
+going to be uninstalled.
+After installing 440 updates (including kernel) and reboot system
+comes up fine without any failure messages.
+Desktop (KDE) is on tty1, using ctrl+Alt+F2 (-F6) takes me to a text
+login on tty2-6 as expected.
+tty7-11 are not accessible, tty12 shows syslog messages.
