Re: SuSE Linux 6.0 and Oracle 8.0.5

Hi, Ramon,

Under Linux, you have to recompile the kernel (sounds much worse than it is if you ask me). The parameters mentioned by Oracle are placed in two files:

/usr/src/linux/include/asm/shmparam.h contains SHMMAX, SHMMIN, SHMMNI and SHMSEG;
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/sem.h contains SEMMNS, SEMMSL und SEMMSL.

This is correct for a 2.0.36-kernel installed under /usr/src/linux/. If you have a different kernel and the files have changed, you might have to search for the parameters by grep.

I hope this helps you.
