Hello!

Can someone give me a hint on what is causing this error message when running the Oracle installer.

³ There are still sgadef<SID>.dbf file(s) in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/ ³
³ (/u01/dbs/). This indicates that there may still be running ³
³ instances. You must shut down all database instances associated ³
³ with this ORACLE_HOME before upgrading the Server. Select (Yes) ³
³ if you have shut down the instances from another terminal/window. ³
³ Select (No) to abort the installation.

There are no directory $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/ and certainly there are no .dbf files
