The limited effort toward improving such big misalignments has long been pursued but could not finish especially after the earthquake in March 2011. This linac is now under upgrade to the SuperKEKB, where the required alignment is 0.1mm in σ for the short distance in 100m span, while 0.3mm through the whole linac for the emittance preservation. The straight line as a reference for the alignment was defined by laser beam over 500m. The actual hardwares are set with respect to this reference line by using a laser tracker. The alignment present status is reported in this paper. On the other hand, we noticed, through the alignment measurements over months, that the tunnel floor moved in the range of 0.1mm or maybe more. The evaluation of this movement is on-going to discuss about how to achieve the required emittance and how to keep the situation. Various measurements to evaluate the movement are presented also in the paper.
