The usual problem is an improperly exported $ORACLE_HOME. Beyond that, kernel tuning problems or forgetting to start the db. Then, forgotten Sun patches (see 105181-06) or ISM problem (you may have to set USE_ISM=false in init.ora). Then, leftover crud from previous messed up installs (check ipcs to be sure you haven't used up all shared memory). See the white papers on MetaLink for more info on shared memory and semaphores.

I've given up on installing and creating at the same time. I just create with scripts.
