Install the kernel source package:
#wget ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/Mandrake/2007.0/i586/media/main/release/kernel-source-2.6.17.5mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm
In “vmware-distrib” directory, and invoke:
# perl vmware-install.pl
Note, do not invoke vmware-config.pl at above progress.
Download “vmware-any-any-update109”:
#cd vmware-any-any-update109
#perl runme.pl
This perl script will execute vmware-config.pl automatically.

This method has been proven in my mandriva2K7.
How to unique identify a computer? Google said CPUID and MAC address are two most widely used. However, CPUID is lease to modify than MAC. Later I find “hostid” command, which print the numeric identifer for the current host. However the hostid is related to the IP address of local computer so that it can not be depended.
CPUinfo’s BogoMIPS: The Linux measures BogoMIPS at start up in order to calibrate some soft timing loops that will be used late on. Or, it is measured provided in the Linux OS that indicates in a relative way how fast the computer processor runs.
Configure script problems: If something goes wrong while running the configure script, review the config.log file. This file may contain errors encounted during configure which were not printed to the screen.
Because there is not always enough Random Access Memory(RAM) available for compilation processes. It is a good idea to use a small disk partition as swap space. This is used by the kernel to store seldom-used data and leave more memory available for active processes.
To check if your host system used custom enhancements:
#debugs -R feature /dev/xxx
Toolslain: compiler, assemble, linker, libraries and few useful utility
We are going to try out production about BX1200 in few days. Inventec has confirmed that 18 pieces of SS2280 and attached 19 pieces of SJ2280(JBOD Devices) will arrive at Shenzhen at Feb 22nd. I discussed with Shan, Xiaoyu, and both of us agree to arrange the pilot production in Shenzhen Lab. Also we need 20 pieces 44pin Flash card, Shan will be responsed of buying these disks. Test team and Shan will do the job while they still need technology support by RD team.
Gavin assigned system-building to me, which is charged by Huang Pengcheng before. It is a good excise for self-enhancement. I will study LFS and do some testing in the following two weeks.
BX1200 knowledge protection: According to unique MAC information of network cards on board, it is able to create a key or called license to band with Flash card. The customer can not steal our achievement when they copy the content of flash card and try to apply it in other SS2280 platfrom, which they could buy from Inventec.
Though my suggestions perhaps are not always accepted or recognized as reasonable, it can not cut off my thinking. Keep good habit and do better to improve myself.
We have received two BX1200 platforms and JBOD(SJ2280) from Inventec, which is used for our v1.1 development. About the sample SS2280 issue, I wrote to York and got promise from him: Inventec agree us to send the whole system to their Shanghai team for farther investigation and fixing.
I came back from Hunan at Feb 15th, where I went to take part in Yang Ming’s wedding. It’s very cold in Hunan, even somewhere there’s heavy snow existed. During seven days staying in Hunan, I made a mistake, which is now seemed to be caused by a small misunderstanding matter. In fact, I love my wife, and I know she loves me deeply too. I can not hurt her heart any more. Yes, I must try to control my bad temperament, and be calm. It would be a difficult thing, while difficult thing always means right.
First off, I should insist writing blog here, recording all the things considered meaningful and useful in general working. This blog has been maintained from three years since June of 2005. It is proved to be benefit for my IT career. Good habit would be kept all the time.
When I asked Gavin for some suggestions, he told me to improve myself to be widely developing. I know my situation in current team and what he expects. Sometimes I am not confident enough for lacking full developing and good-communication skill. These two should be highly concerned. The prior one, I decide to read more books and make my work at higher rate. The second one, I have brought a relevant book about speech skill from Shenzhen library, and plan to read it in one month.
Oral English, perhaps is the next important middle stone in career. Obviously oral ability is more and more important in IT field, in which we have to communicate by English.
I am captivated of Japanese culture, especially history and novel. We can learn a lot from this neighbor. Now I am reading Ryunosuke Akutagawa, whose famous representative working are Rashōmon(1915), Hana The Nose(1916).
I have only a Windows installation CD at home, and later I find it does not contain service package. This Windows is setting up as Chinese, so I download a copy of sp2 from Internet. When try to install this new package, it has error and displays the language is not meet. I google from some hints, a fellow said this issue may be fixed by changed the local language parameters in Windows register table. Some illegal Windows copy are based on Singapore Chinese, not main China. As follow the steps and reboot, I can not log on Windows because it warns me that the license has been recognized as unavailable. I has to boot system to safe-mode, and restore the former setting to make the system be normal again. My aim is burn other ISO located at my T23 notepad and install Windows again. Later, I reinstall the system with new Windows CD which is English version.
