Good sleeping from 13:00 to 18:00 makes me feeling very well. I’m very tired last week for paying much attention to trouble resolution. Next week, I’ll update my work diarys and do with Hainan customer’s Alief issues since the service engineer Chen Haihong would have been there tonight. Chengdu’s Westville matter should also be watched.
In SuSE professional 9.1, crontab’s backup file is located at “/var/spool/cron/tabs/user”. If the crontab file is lost, just copy out the backup file and rename it to instead of the original.
My office application computer is installed Mandriva 2006, This afternoon, Tang brought me a CM8457 PCI sound card. The operating system recognized this device immediately, and shows me the following message in the screen: Input the second Installation CD 2 to install the Gstream package. I’ve done this step, and then open the Mandriva’s multiplayer Amarok to play a wmv file, It seems no picture was displayed but sound was set out.
Inter server board SE7520AF2 is the most powerful in the Dual Processors series. Hainan’s customer need this board installed in SC5300BRP chassis. In our factory, we put the AF2 board in the SC5300 chassis, added a 20320 SCSI card, and then the workers had tested this platform. Both two ethernet devices, Marvell and Intel 82541 was found in the operating system which is Windows 2000 advance server and BIOS menu.
It seemed everything was ok and this machine could be shipped out. At the final step before it was carried out, the IQC guys told me that the two ethernet devices were disappeared in the BIOS and operating system. I tried to re-flash the latest BIOS and Firmware. As the result, the ethernet devices were still not found. For the time of shpping out, we had to change another AF2 boards. The changed board was sent back to Intel 800.
Maybe one weeks passed, the customer called me and said that they could not find the ethernet device. I was surprised by this issue. The customer even could not see the Network device in the prior select menu in the BIOS.Yes, It is an emergency issue I had to face.
The chassises we sold were designed by Intel Corp. We do not know how to dare with such a strange matter. So we had to change this board and took it back to our lab. I had done many times test in checking the existing of ethernet devices by building a test environment including one cpu,one memory and one power supply. The factor is the ethernet devices are really lost, we could not find them again.
We send this board from Hainan customer to Inter TME who is the Alief own. Mr Yue is a kind man with good patience. He did the FA, and told that two capacitances between the Air Conductor and board had been destoried. This issus had been reported from Eurpean customer two months ago.
When we are discussing the reason which cause this matter, another board in Hainan was down for the seem phenomena: Ethernet devices were lost. Mr Yue said, there were two reversion named 601 and 602 made in Intel Korean factory, and these board did not pass the test which could halted the operating system in two weeks. The engineer renewed his board by adding some components and update 601 and 602 to 603. The latest version of Alief is 703. The board we got is 601 update to 603 with a green dot signed on the PBA label.
The issus is caused by Airconductor of SC5300BRP, not Alief Board. Intel has commited it is their design bug.They plan to add a “L” palstic on the board to provent they were destoried by the SC’S airconductor. This “L” platic are still testing in their factory and not released to end users. We had to use a small sponge instead of the palstic.
Mandriva’s interface looks more simply than SuSE and Red Hat Linux. When the first reboot after installation completed, the background is red and there is no iron.
I love Mandriva.It has better font character than SuSE, beautiful looking and charmful.During the first installation, I do not configure the right display parameter, so when the system restart, it entried Text mode directly and showed that it could not found the right screen server.
The xorg files are invalidate. I tested the configuration for the second time with choosing “Inter 910” X server. Everything is ok. It’s my Mandriva!
It’s my first article in 2006.
The MSN space has became my private area, in which I could write my working experience, thinking of life. Since June 2005, the blog launched. In those days, I had a project building in Orace RAC in Intel ISC, through I did not go to Guangzhou by myself.
James told me to develop my road in Linux Technology. He is a powerful leader, wise man, and such a good director and kind friend. I do feel a litter disappoint when he went back to Beijin because I think I could learn more from him.
In December 12th, I decided to separate with Lily. She lies, I do not believe her any longer. What she had done before also hurt me deeply. She is always a liar. Robin, my best friend says,”Separate is right, I think you should have done this three years ago.”
How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man?
Maybe the answer is blowing in the wind.
Mandriva is the next target operating system to be installed in my server station.
