Re: server won't start: ORA-03113 etc

Samuel,

    I don't know how to solve the problem because I am having the exact same thing happen to me. I am using HP-UX and I have yet to find a solution to this. I know that this isn't any help to you but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone :)
