Bash is really a perfect replacement for sh...

Unfortunately you have't supplied us with an error message.

Therefore I estimate the problem is the "GROUPS" variable used in orainst.sh. In bash this is a read-only shell variable:

       GROUPS An  array variable containing the list of groups of
              which the current user is a member.

Just rename GROUPS by "XGROUPS" or sth. like that in the script.
