Hi.

I'm having problems with creating a DB on a new oracle install. I'm doing exactly as the documentation says and i'm still getting errors when it tries to do the initial "startup nomount" to create the database. here is my env and what I have done. If somebody could please take a look and give me some pointers, i sure would appreciate it. my box is a sun ultrasparc 5 with 400Mhz and 256M ram

from /etc/system (and doing a boot -r on reboot)

from sysdef prior to starting up svrmgrl:
*

• IPC Messages
  *
  2048 max message size (MSGMAX) 4096 max bytes on queue (MSGMNB) 50 message queue identifiers (MSGMNI) 40 system message headers (MSGTQL)

I can svrmgrl fine, connect internal fine. but then the startup nomount command gives the following

SVRMGR> SVRMGR> Connected.
SVRMGR> ORA-27146: post/wait initialization failed
SVRMGR>      2>      3>      4>      5>      6>      7>      8>     
9>     10> CREATE DATABASE "cprdev"

*

ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
SVRMGR> Disconnected.
SVRMGR> SVRMGR> Server Manager complete.

Checking the alert log gives...

and the trc file is empty.

Please help. I'm stuck.
