lock_sga error

Hi All,  

I'm trying to lock my sga in memory on a RedHat Linux 3 AS server. When I try to start the database with the "lock_sga=true" paramerter in my init file I get the following error:  

SQL> startup nomount;

ORA-27102: out of memory

Linux Error: 12: Cannot allocate memory

SQL> Any ideas?

Thanks,
