As Hans pointed out, what you're attempting is not supported. Working through the issues is a non-trivial matter. When OEL/RHEL went from 5.x to 6.x, they abandoned the old SYSV init mechanism and moved to upstart. The clusterware *heavily* relies on that infrastructure to function. It's *not* going to work.

I think you're better off installing 11.2.0.3 and upgrading to 11.2.0.4, both of which support OEL6.4. (Or downgrade your Linux distribution to OEL5.x.)

This is a self-learning installation on Virtual box , I plan to install 11.2.0.2 and upgrade to 11.2.0.3 :)

I am facing problem installing 11.2.0.2 with ASM on OEL 6.4 64 bit (2.6.39-400.211.1.el6uek.x86_64), while executing /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/root.sh I get errors

What I find very interesting is that Oracle Support / Certify explicitly excludes OEL6/RH6 for Clusterware 11.2.0.2

If you want to use OEL 6.4, you might want to consider going to Clusterware 11.2.0.3 or higher. (Yes, there are that many differences ...)
