We have recently installed Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris 2.7. The issues we faced were
1. The Installation is a 2 CD Install so make sure you are in root directory when you invoke the runInstaller or else the first CD would not eject when prompted for the second CD.
2. The values for the Unix kernel /etc/system file were incorrect in the documentation. The Installer would hang. Then we got the right values from Oracle.
The commented values were those suggested in the doc, they were then corrected by Oracle

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
*set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
*set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
*set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
*set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
*set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=100
*set semsys:seminfo_semmns=200
*set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100
*set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767

set semsys:seminfo_semmap=250
set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=500
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=500
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=500
set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=500
set semsys:seminfo_semume=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=200
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=200
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=200

Hope that helps

We have installed 8.1.7 (32-bit) on Solaris 2.7. No problems so far. Distribution comes on 2 CD's and you will end up with a much larger ORACLE_HOME than with 8.1.6.
We did have a minor issue with init.ora parameter gc_rollback_locks. Oracle expects a string here, I believe. The thing was that 8.1.6 did not have this problem, albeit we had specified it incorrectly. This parameter pertains to OPS. The frustrating part was figuring out which init.ora parameter was causing the problem. If you have a bad init.ora parameter, Oracle doesn't point you to the line number in the init.ora that's having a problem as a compiler would do. This would definitely be a nice enhancement. In the end, we just commented out the line containing gc_rollback_locks, ie., used the default value.

Let me know if you need a sample init.ora (that works) when you're ready to create your 8.1.7 database.
