Oracle 7.2.3 swap space misread on Solaris 2.6

Here's the problem I am getting when I am installing Oracle 7.2.3 on our Sun Ultra 60 running Solaris 2.6.

Checking the Operating System Resources...


Using init.tpl
WARNING: The Swap Space is less than the recommended value of 200000 Kbytes.
Number of semaphores sets is OK.
Number of shared memory segments is OK.

WARNING: Insufficient Operating System Resources.

Before proceeding further, it is recommended that you abort the installation and rebuilt the kernel according to specifications in the Openworks System Administration Guide. After rebuilding the kernel, re-start the installation using the command:

        /luna1/ow41/oracle/install/Install

Do you wish to abort the installation. (y/n) [y]?


I have sufficient swap space, here's the output of swap -l:

swapfile             dev  swaplo blocks   free
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1   32,1      16 367184 367184
/luna1/swap/swapA     -       16 1863664 1863664
/luna2/swap/swapB     -       16 2047984 2046256

That's a total of over 2GB.

Why is the install program not reading my swap stats and instead displaying "n/a's"? I am installing Oracle as part of a Landmark suite of geology applications, and I believe that the latest version of Solaris that is supported is 2.5. Do you think that could be the problem?

Is there an oracle for 2.6?

Thanks,
