Install Grub/Lilo in /dev/i2o/hda1 failed with Debian

OS

Debian GNU/Linux 5

RAID Card

Adaptec ASR2100S with Raid 5

Problem

Installation failed message will show while installing Grub as boot loader.

Solution

Do not stop your installation!! And try following steps to install boot loader during installation:
  1. Enter another console with short cut: alt + Fn
  2. Press enter to enable console
  3. > chroot /target
  4. > aptitude
  5. update packages db
  6. install grub
  7. exit aptitude
  8. > /usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/i2o/hda
  9. > update-grub
  10. > exit
  11. continue to finish others steps with "continue without boot loader" option
If its failed after above steps, that might be some steps wrong while you processing it. Don't worry! You will see Grub prompt after reboot, and try following steps:

grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0) <-- If you did not install grub correctly at last time, you have to do it
grub> kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/i2o/hda1 ro
grub> initrd /initrd.img
grub> boot

Then, you will boot into your system now.

Caution!! It's not the end! You have to do following steps again to fix your problem exactly.

> grub-install /dev/i2o/hda
> update-grub <--- VERY IMPORTANT! Don't forget to do it! Or you will have to repeat all steps again!

After that your system can boot next time correctly. Congratulations!

How to show only month and year fields in android Date-picker?

Android default DatePicker show day/month/year fields but you have to customize this DatePicker as your requirements. Suppose that you want to show only month and year fields in android datepicker . To do this, you have to customize the Dialog DatePicker source code but it is not an easy task. In this tutorial I will show you a tricky way to solve this problem. Lets see how to show only month and year field in android DatePicker as a dialog.   Step to show only month and year fields in android date-picker: Some days ago I got this same problem and here I am trying to explain this in a sequential manner. I want to show a dialog datepicker when user click on an EditText. So if user click on EditText, A dialog datepicker will be invocked and it will show only month and year fields. To do this, at first we have to create a xml layout to hold the EditText fields. So create an android project and name it DatePickerExample. In the main.xml file just try to write this simple code....

How to construct a B+ tree with example

Image
A B+ tree contains n-1 search key values K1K2…….Kn-1 and have n pointers.   In a B+ tree the data are ordered  sequentially.  The leaf node may hold up to n pointers and must hold at least N/2 pointers. The root node must hold at least two pointers, unless the tree consists of only one node.  Now we construct a B+ tree. Construct a B+ tree for the following set of key values: (2,3,5,7,11,17,19,23,29,31) Assume that the tree is initially empty and values are added in ascending order. Construct a B+ tree where the pointer number is Four. Solution: When a node exceeds n-1 search key value then we split it into two nodes. First node contains (ceiling(n-1)/2) values.  2 nd node contains remaining node. Copy the smallest search key value of the second node to the parent node. Let's start, we know each node has N pointer and has N-1 search key values. In our example pointer number is 4, so the search key value is 4-1=3. So each node has 4 pointers and 3 search key val...

Conflict Serializability in database

Image
To maintains database state consistency we introduce serializability. Using serializability we can understand which schedule will ensure consistency, and which schedule will not. When we are capable of converting a concurrent schedule into a serial schedule then we cal it serializable schedule. A schedule is serializable if it is equivalent to a serial schedule. We divided this concepts into two parts 1. Conflict serializability  & 2. View serializability In this discussion I just clarify you the conflict serializability. Consider two instruction read, write and the data item A and B. When two instruction execute different data item such as read(A) and read(B), then we can swap the instruction without affecting the result of the schedule. But when the data item is equivalent to one another we need to consider following four condition.    a.   read (A ),    read ( A ).   they   don’t conflict.    b.   read ( Q),  ...
