Confusion on BIOS (resolved)

Here's the information on the newest BIOS for the K8T Neo-FIS2R motherboard, as listed on
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=496&kind=1
Check out the Special Note line - what does it mean? This appears contradictory to the fact that I've been flashing previous versions of this BIOS successfully on my board. Any information is appreciated. They've just made this thing more complicated. Thanks!
=====================================================
BIOS Type AMI® BIOS        File Sizes 306KB
Version          2.2        Update date 2005-3-4
Update Description Support Cool & Quiet function with Sempron CPU Reversion D0.
Special note    1.x~2.x BIOS cannot be used on K8T Neo-F (PCB2.0)
Download 6702v22.zip
=====================================================

Has anybody figured this out, by any chance? I'm confused on MSI's Downloads listing for the BIOS updates. The Special Note reads that the 1.x and 2.x series cannot be used on the K8T Neo F boards. Aren't we all using these??? This statement is totally contradictory and confusing, as if, "This BIOS goes to your pre-selected motherboard, but you cannot use this BIOS." What does this mean?
In another approach - people on this board, what BIOS are you running for your K8T Neo FIS2R, and what are the advantages/disadvantages of that update? Is it running well?
I believe in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", but I also enjoy an occasional system enhancement or upgrade. Any information is appreciated.

This time I think I understand him:
Mainboard: MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp-Edition (MS-7246 v.2.1)
He wants to know if the incompatibility issue between JMicron and the Intel RAID controller that appeared with the 7.2x BIOS-Versions has been resolved in the latest official BIOS (7.5). The JMicron controller has to be completely disabled in order to use Intel RAID. One IDE and one SATA port are rendered useless due to this BIOS bug.
HOW??! How you can read his mind??!?

GTX 580 Twin Frozr II O/C - confused by bios version number, and how to flash

Hi, my first post here. But I've been reading a bit here. Still, I get confused by this whole vga bios thing, version numbers and how to flash... Ok, so here's my situation:
I have two PC's. Both with one MSI Twin Frozr II O/C GTX 580 card inside. It seems to me that both are working according to specifications, GPU-Z reports:
GPU clock 800 Mhz, Memory 1024 Mhz, Shader 1600 Mhz for the borth of them.
Now, one of them seems not to be totally stable (this is the newest I bought a few days ago). It locks up/crashes in some games. The other seems ok, I've been having that one for a while. Could this be a GPU core voltage problem? GPU-Z reports for the both of them:
VDDC 0.955 v
I've tried running MSI afterburner, changing core voltage to 1025, and in afterburner settings enable "Force constant voltage". Still, GPU-Z, which I keep running at the same time, still reports only 0.955. I thought this setting in Afterburner would change voltage to 1.025? This situation is for both the old one and the new one.
Now to the Bios "problem".
The newest card (the not so stable one) reports through GPU-Z: Bios Version 70.10.20.00.01
The oldest (stable) card: Bios Version 70.10.17.00.01
So... which one has the newest bios? Seems to me it is the newest card.
BUT - when running MSI Live Update 5 (newest version) it says for both the cards that they have the the newest bios version, and there's no need to upgrade??
SO - I go to the MSI webpage: http://no.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-Twin-Frozr-II-OC.html#?div=BIOS to download the newest bios manually, just in case.. But there it gets more confusing. The Bios version found there is :NV255MS.104(.zip).
And also, on that page I can not find how to use that file. Extracting it just gives me the file NV255MS.104 and no extension.
So, which bios is the newest one? 70.10.20.00.01 (the highest number, in the new card, but not stable in some games), 70.10.17.00.01 (in my old card, but seems stable in the games I've tried), or NV255.104 (which I don't know how to use).
I've flashed my main board bios many times over the years in various set ups, the bios on two different SSD disks and so on.. never had a problem with that, or finding out if I have the correct bios, how to do it and so on.
Maybe I'm stupid, but this MSI Twin Frozr II O/C GTX 580 bios thing confuses me a lot... So, how do I solve this situation?

I am also interested in the answer as I have 2 MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC cards. I can find the latest BIOS file "NV801MS.KG4.zip" and know the version is "KG4". But how do you relate this to the current BIOS version Afterburner or GPU-Z provides? The version they each provide is "70.10.17.00.01" for both cards. The only other way to determine if they are up to date is to install and run MSI Live Update. MSI Live Update responds that they are up to date with no current version or online version information on the Live Update tab. At least the information on the Home tab states the same VGA BIOS version as GPU-Z and Afterburner. I can can only assume that the BIOS is updated by using MSI Live Update.
Also just for the additional information GPU-Z displays my VDDC as 1.039 briefly then 0.995 constantly when switching between cards. I actually have the cards set to 1.050 with Afterburner to be stable when running Crysis 2 DX11 updates.

[Athlon64] Confused about BIOS versions

I'm looking to upgrade my BIOS - but since the layout change in the BIOS download section, I'm confused.
1) What's the difference between Award and AMI BIOS'?
2) Am I to use an Award or AMI BIOS for my board?
3) Under the AMI BIOS's (the only ones available for my board), the Special Note says that versions 1.x and 2.x don't work with the K8T Neo-F. I'm using an earlier version - does this include my board?
Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

You install an AMI bios as a motherboard only had one bios type and yours is AMI.
See: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=496&kind=1 for latest bios update. The latest is up the top of the list.
Don't know what the red means though so someone needs to clarify that for you.

Confused with bios update instructions.

greetz
facing the stange problems ive got, i thought that i would flash my bios to the latest version as the current is something 1.9 while the latest is 1.D
my system is a MSI K8N Neo4 and im confused with the flashing instructions as the first thing the flashing instructions state is not to flash from
a floppy. now since i am not to flash it of a floppy, how should the flashing be done?
the reason i want to flash is that when i attempt to install opensuse linux 10.1, it states that the system bios is representing 3 drives as configured
for raid, i have zillion checked the bios and resetted all the settings just to make sure yet it always appear the same, any ideas? feel a bit helpless here.

i'm pretty sure i've seen the same thing before, its that the Linux kernel used by Suse 10 no longer supports software RAID arrays
maybe one of the guys in the Nvidia area can advise a bit better on whether the Nforce4 RAID is software or hardware controlled

Bit confused, what bios is needed for the MS-6163?

First of all: Sorry to ask this, but I want to be sure I have the right bios and the previous posts weren't really reassuring. Don't want to end up with a dead board..
The motherboard has got MS-6163 Ver: 1 printed on it.
During the POST it says: MS-6163VA.
Aida32 says MS-6163VA
Live Update says MS-6163
So, which one is it?
I found a link to a bios version that is supposed to be for the MS-6163, not the 6163VA but the first bios release was version 2.0, while mine is 1.0B6f (?)
I have flashed a lot of MSI mainboards before, never any problems, but this is really confusing, to put it mildly.
BIOS Properties
BIOS Type   Award Modular
Award BIOS Type   Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
Award BIOS Message   VMP 1.0B6f * MSI MS-6163VA (1.0B6f is also mentioned during POST)
System BIOS Date   07/01/99
Motherboard Properties
Motherboard ID   07/01/1999-692-596-W977-2A6LGM4EC-00
Motherboard Name   MSI MS-6163VA
Chipset Properties
Motherboard Chipset   VIA VT82C691 Apollo Pro

I have found this bios version, with Google, it doesn't exists in the MSI Bios list, so it is only accesable via Google..
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=264&kind=1
In the description the followind is mentioned:
Version: 2.0
Update Description: this is the initial Award(R) BIOS release.
The bios version of my motherboard is 1.06, so I doubt is this is the right bios.
Live-update doesn't support my motherboard, so I can't check it out with that either..

GE70 2OE stays in BIOS after flashing BIOS -- RESOLVED

I flashed the BIOS on my GE70 2OE-017US tonight. The previous version was E1757IMS.51B, the new version is E1757IMS.51C (http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GE70-2OE.html#down-bios&Win8 64). The flash process was successful. However, it cannot launch the Windows 8 login screen. It enters the BIOS automatically.
I am sure that I downloaded the proper version of the new BIOS file and flashed the BIOS correctly (I flashed to the 51B version from 517 version successfully in June.)
I tried the following, but neither works.
1. Downloaded the 51C BIOS file and flashed the BIOS again.
2. Turned off the laptop, removed the power cord & the battery, then installed the battery and connected to the cord, and turned on the laptop again.
The bad thing is that I do not keep the previous 51B version file after the last flash, or I could try to flash back to the old version.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

The ISSUE has been resolved!!
After checking the BIOS setup thoroughly, I figured out that the following Boot Option WAS DISABLED!
Boot tab -> UEFI Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities -> Boot Options #1
The laptop functions again after setting Windows Boot Manager in the above configuration.
I conservatively guess it was introduced by the new BIOS file. Anyway, the laptop works again.
I posted it here in case anyone happens to have the same problem after flashing BIOS.

I'm confused about BIOS update

I have been told by Tempo to download a new BIOS.
Done this and unziped it.
The help page for laptop BIOS tells me to run the *.exe file to run the program in the windows environment.
Problem: there is no exe.
The ZIP is 20080311101712
If I try to run the help file it tells me it won't run on Vista.
Regards
Viv

Hi,
i have downloaded the bios and there is a exe file.
SWinFlash.exe
You need to start this I think.
And if you have problems to run the update on Vista, I would try to start it as "Administrator".
(right click on the *.exe file and select run as administrator)

X58 pro bclk in bios RESOLVED

Thanks in advance!

Hi sf3000. It should be in the manual how to change the settings, but if you use your keyboard, & the up/down keys, & the + & the - keys on the number pad, you should be able to change the values.

Try to run your 4 sticks on auto settings (reboot) and then see if the pages show.
It was testet with memory on AUTO, yes
I have have also try another scenario, only using SidePort memory, instead of (Auto) UMA+Sideport, which sharing system memory, because i suspected that sharing system memory with intergrated IGP may "confuse" the Bios Memory-Z reading. But it was no difference. It freeze anyway.
Anyway, it dosen't really worry me, but sure it would be "interesting" one day maybe get the knowledge what cause it (if it is an real "issue")

Setup of collaboration on external drive

Hi, I've been using os x since 10.0, but a newbie on server.
As an apple fan I've been drawn to the flame of thinking I could do more because apple makes it easy. So my interest in getting web side collaboration to support small groups with wikis, blogs, mail and calendar. I'm also interested in web apps.
My first install of 10.5 server was Standard and seemed to work, but...
When I got the mini I also purchased a FireWire external 500GB drive to house accumulated data and web development; the mini HD is small. I want the web stuff and new work housed on the external.
For this to work, Apple support said I need to go to Advanced configuration. I've read most of the entries in this forum on 10.5 server and can't thank you all enough for teaching me what to look for and how to read the docs. I have DNS working now fwd/back, Open Directory Master with Kerberos and LDAP directory running.
Set up the Web service with data to point to the external volume named ext/Library/Collaboration. Set up users and groups. Set up the website on the external under /Library/Webserver/domain. The static stuff works.
I set up the site domain to homepage on the external. I set up web service on the site to provide group (not user) wikis, blogs, maillist and calendar. I'm supporting small groups and don't need the individual user blogs. Groups with members was set up with Workgroup Manager and the groups enabled to use the domain for wikis, blogs, maillist and calendar. The groups are sticky in Server Admin and the correct domain is selected in Workgroup Manager. But no folders are created on the external in the /Library/Collaboration folder. When the group is enabled I should see something like Groups, Archived Groups and User folders created on the external drive. This is not happening. They aren't going to the startup drive either. Interestingly, since I haven't set up iCal service yet, there is a Documents folder created under /Library/Calendar/ folder on the startup drive. Which says something is happening. The logs indicate the system couldn't write to the external.
So I set up a share point to the external drive and even added the Everyone group to read&write just to see where the hang up was. No change. I thought this was a permissions issue. After trying different permission arrangements using Teamserver and Directory Admin I restarted and managed to lockout all logins including root.
As for trying server software, I don't think this stuff can be called user friendly yet.
I'm hoping someone has accomplished this small feat and can point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

Whoopie -
Yesterday I was so frustrated. I got my dose of castor oil when for the second time I heard from apple support techs "If you haven't been to school and don't have prior experience 'Advanced Mode' is way over your head". OK, but they weren't willing to give my money back either -- so push on.
With tech support I set up a test group with full mail, calendar and web services. DNS is still confusing because it resolves inside and outside my NAT but doesn't locate the domain only the server. There is no domain A record. A server A record only.
Anyway, I used ditto to move the /Library/Collaboration folders and /Library/CalendarServer folder to the external drive. As I found out, the ditto command preserves resource forks and permissions.
i.e. sudo ditto -rsrcFork /Library/Collaboration /Volumes/ext_HD
just dumped the wiki folders and similarly the calendar documents folder onto the ext_HD (name of external drive) and they show up with the red circled minus sign.
I stopped the web, ical and mail services. Changed the data store locations for web service to /Volumes/ext_HD using the browse tool, and saved, then set the ical data store to the /Volumes/ext_HD/Documents folder and saved.
Started up mail, ical and web services one at a time. Had to use View and Refresh on the web service.
Reset the WGM web service and mail to the testgroup and voila!.
My wikis and group calendar came up and mail was passed successfully. I went to the file sharing panel browsing the ext_HD and there was a new item in the calendar and separately in the weblog folders after I made these through the web site.
I then set up a second group and nothing happened. I added the new group to the webservice for the site panel. I added a previous user to the new group and logged into the wiki with that, made a blog entry and logged out. The new group folder then showed up on the ext_HD and in the calendar/Documents folder on the external drive.
Mail and maillist also found the group wiki. Calendar events were stored as well.
Boy am I happy.
I hope this hasn't bored anyone.

Need advice regarding an interview

Hi,
Since everytime I had a confusion, it was resolved by this forum only, so now again I need ur support and advice.
Actually, I'm a struggler seeking desperately for job of a junior/asst. DBA. I've done MCA(Master in Computer Application) and OCA (Oracle Certified Associate) DBA.
Now in the next month I've to take the last exam (Performance Tuning) to be an OCP. Since I m a fresher in this field, I m not getting any job opportunity.
I'd already discussed my problem on this forum and had got lots of precious advices which recharged and motivated me a lot.
Now today I got an interview call from HCL company for the post of an 'asst.programmer' which is not the field I was looking for. But since I m getting an opportunity from a big company I m not able to resist it. Plz advice me of what should I do in such situation.
Further,I m not in practice of the programming languages for a long time so I m not sure whether I'll get through the Interview or not. Plz suggest.The interview is tommorow.

If you've got some knowledge of programming then at least it's a foot in the door and will allow you to gain experience.
Likewise, going for the interview will give you experience of the interviews, even if you don't get the job.
A good programmer has a good understanding of the way a database works, so the DBA skills you've already learnt will help you and, if you get the job, the programming will give you a good idea of how people need to use the database, so that too will support your DBA skills and you can eventually work up to the job opportunity you want.
We all had to start somewhere. ;)

Including XML files inside another

I was wondering if the following was possible, and if so, how:
If I have 2 files of the same schema, e.g.
FileA.xml
<person>
<name>Greg</name>
</person>
FileB.xml
<person>
<name>Bob</name>
</person>
Is there a standard way from in a file FileC.xml, of another schema, to include this information e.g.
<people>
<person>
<name>Another</name>
</person>
<person ref="FileA.xml"/>
<person ref="FileB.xml"/>
</people>
I have Googled this sort of question but not found any examples, and I think I am getting confused with entity resolving.
Any help much appreciated.

I think xinclude and xpointer are what you're looking for.
xinclude:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/
xpointer:
http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xptr
These technologies have been around for quite a while (at least since 2001) and many parsers support these standards out of the box. No need to write your own.

Employee Grouping Fixed Account Assignment in FMDERIVE

Hello Experts,
I am configuring derivation rules in FMDERIVE for a client, where I have to configure those for HCM. I came across a Source Field "Employee Grouping Fixed Account Assignment". Can someone explain me what this field do, its use in FM Derivation Rules and its link with HCM module. Please note that we are using Scenario 1 as mentioned in Integration: Determining HR Account Assignments - Funds Management - SAP Library, where the cost elements are being used for account assignment derivation.

Dear Revathi,
We have Sturcture as follows
Employee Group - 1 = Active
       ESG are M1 = Management
                     S1 = Staff
                     W1 = Factory Worker
Employee Group - 5 = Contracted
       ESG are W1 = Worker
                     C1 = Contracted Worker
For all 5 ESG, we have assigned a single ESG Grouping as 3 for CAP & PCR.
Now, we want to assign the Salary assigned to different ESG to go to different Cost Centers & G/L Account.
How can it be achieved?
Why do we define employee grouping again for Posting of Payroll results to Accounts, If it is the same EG / ESG or ESG Grouping ?
What the return value of Feature PPMOD suggests?
Convey your Telephone No on my mobile so that the confusion can be resolved easily
