8 to 8i migration problems

Hi, everybody,

First, I am running RedHat Linux 6.1.

I am encountering difficulty migrating my 8.0.5 database to 8.1.6. After installing 8.1.6, when I try to start oracle and mount my database, I come up with the following error:

SVRMGR> startup mount pfile=initORCL.ora

ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area                         29061104 bytes

ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

And then it fails! There is nothing wrong with the listener, and everything is located on this server, so I don't know what this whole "communication channel" thing is about. I emailed Oracle's OracleINSTALL service but (in addition to telling me this was not covered by that service, not being directly related to installation) all they did was give me a cryptic line about file permissions. All my oracle files are owned by user oracle in group dba. IF anyone has had any experience with this problem, please let me know. Thanks a lot.
