Dear Shenyuan, it seems you assumed P41 21 2 is correct but it isn't - did you try P43 21 2 in molecular replacement?
The pointless log file mentions this alternative a few lines above the ones you've quoted. If that does not work, try the other P4x 2y 2 space groups. All of this can be done in a single phaser run (choose "all possible in same pointgroup" in the space group menu). Why did you cut the data at 2.29A? They are very strong in the high resolution shell!
