2nd time, no other selection, I tried to reinstall VISTA again(this time I fdisk the hard disk as 12G, 4G, and 1G. ). But after I finished it, the problem still was there. This time the screen showed some hint that there maybe some relationship with the hardware.
I plugged off the hardware from that PCI and ISA close(common)slot and moved it to another place, (sometimes there maybe have some problems if someone plug a hardware in it.) But still be there.
I entered the BIOS and checked every item seriously. When I search the PCI Parity, I suddenly remembered that I ever read an article about how to slove the plug and play problem, and I successed to slove this kind of problem before. So I turned off the PCI Parity to disable.
Really? The problem never appeared again. Cheers! The HINT is: IBM 6898 should be turn off PCI Parity item in the BIOS to disable.
This time, I changed the display card to Canopus Power window(S3 VIRGE/DX, 4M), because last time I found that using Stb vel Riva 128 to display, appearing the light shadow on the right side of the texts and imagines. Canopus Power window was still unknown by OS. It only supports 16 bits colour and 60 Hz refreshing rate, but it would not produce the light shadow. For the Intel 82557 network adapter could not be known, I changed a realtek 8139 network card, or I could not surf the net(I was wishing the SP1 of VISTA could slove my problems.)I have read some articles appreciate that Realtek continue to write the driver for its old network adapters... Nice, it was recognized. Now, I can surf.
And I got some tips during this install: 1. When you change the hardware several times after finish the install, even if you have activated the OS, it would ask you to activated it again. 2. If you donot activate the OS, you could not update. 3. I found my VISTA Home Basic didnot show the work illustrate of my second cpu. I searched the net and got to known only Business tape and Ultimate tape provide to support 2 cpu. I was very upset, just turned off the dual cpu support in the BIOS.
From March 12th to April 15th, I installed this new system totally 5 times.
1st time, I tried to install VISTA on above machine(this time I fdisk the hard disk as 10G, 6G, and 1G. ). Yes, all passed. Good. A very beautiful and different OS system was showed in front of me...
But I was very surprised that the sound card could not be found even if it was showed as unknown device, and, the network adapter was be found and marked a yellow exclamation point on it(explained as no suitable driver be found). The display card(Stb vel Riva 128)could not be known and system was just running under the standard VGA model. The refreshing rate is 60 Hz(16 bits colour and 32 bit colour are the same), my God! My eyes could not be patient, I have to buy another Lcd monitor or another PCI display card that could be recognized by VISTA.
This was not the all, when I was running the machine, it often suddenly showed the blue screen, and appeared dumping back the data from physical memory.
So I suspected that there were maybe something wrong in the memory(my 4 memory rams are 3 kinds although they are all made by kingstone, 3 is 133 MHz,1 is 100 MHz). But after changing all their positions and use other ram to change(keep over 512M)many times, the problem was still there.
This IBM machine is a server. It supplies dual cpu, supports the highest cpu is 333 MHz Pentium Ⅱ(I think it only supports 5x66 MHz), supports 3 or 4 PCI slots and 2 or 1 ISA slot, 1 (1x or 2x)speed AGP slot,SCSI controller(Adaptec 7895p) supplies dual 50 and 68 sockets, 1 floppy disk controller, 2 DMA hard disk controllers, 4 Ram slots single supports up to 256M, including perfect network support(Intel 82557 10/100M network adapter) and sound card(Crystal cs4236B) plus loud speaker system. In windows 98, windows2000, you could just plug the hard disk and Ram, one display card, then you can finish the main system. After adding the keyboard, mouse, moniter and power supply, you could have a rather perfect machine to surf the net and watch the media by this system smoothly.
I installed every 2 cpus on them and set to support 333 MHz, one was installed 2x350 MHz Pentium Ⅱ,they were recognized 2x333 MHz(I think they were not locked the clock, but it has been changed from 3.5x100 MHz to 5x66 MHz). The other one was installed 2x350 MHz Pentium Ⅱ too, but they were recognized 2x233 MHz(I think they were locked the clock, so it has been changed from 3.5x100 MHz to 3.5x66 MHz). I guess.
The ram slots only suppot the dual side band ram, so if you use the one side band 256M ram it could not be used. I bought 4 dual side band 256 ram at that time and plug all in the fastest one 333. The other only pluged some rest old ram in its 4 ram slots.
I bought one SCSI card Apaptec 19160(up to 160M speed) and one Seagate ST318406LW hard disk(up to 160M speed, 4M cache).
And I bought one Logitec dvd reader and cd writer rom.
Now this time, in order to have the best enviroment to install VISTA, I decided to install all the best hardware for it.
Inside:Dual 350 MHz(known as 2x333 MHz) Pentium Ⅱ, 4x256M ram, SCSI card Apaptec 19160 and one Seagate 18G(after formatted is 17.1G)(10,000 rpm) hard disk, Nec D720101 usb 2.0 PCI card(3 ports, 2 outside and 1 inside), Logitec dvd reader and cd writer rom, Stb RIVA 128 AGP(Nvidia riva128 4M)display card, monitor is Mitsubishi Diamondtron Rd21gx(21 inchs CRT). All were bought in 2002 except usb 2.0 PCI card, that was my brother to me last year.
But it was not so smooth, for the requirement is under the order of Microsoft-cpu above 800 MHz, 20G hardisk and 15G free space on disk.
2009.1.31はいとこのご結婚の日です。おめでとう!!!年初六是我表妹结婚的日子,恭喜她!2009.1.31 my younger cousin married, congratulation to her!! 愿我的朋友和来宾们能为我写点东西,谢谢。Wish every friend and every guest could write something to me.Thank you!
