It may be the problem that I have just found when I tried installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris x86. The "Not Connected to Oracle" error was actually caused when the database assistant tries to create the database. You should attempt to create the database manually by using svrmgrl. At unix prompt:
>svrmgrl

SVRMGR> connect internal
SVRMGR> startup nomount.

If at this point you get a ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel error - see below for the solution. If not - we probably need more info to track down the problem.

Hope that helps

ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel error received on startup nomount.

I was installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris Intel. Installation worked fine but when the installer auto launches the dbassist it produces the "Failed to connect to Oracle" error.

I attempted to create the database manually using svrmgrl and received "ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel" when executing "startup nomount".

The problem was solved by setting the semsys:seminfo_semmns semephore parameter to 2000 rather than 200 as stated in the documentation.

I checked the IPC semaphore and IPC shared memory parameter values had been set correctly, by typing "sysdef" at the Unix prompt (necessary because it turned out my system was not loading these values automatically). Remember to reboot the system after changing these values.
