There shouldn't be any mystery about it! Wherever your init.ora has set background_dump_dest will be where the alert log is written to. I suppose there could be permissions problems there (try a chmod 777 for starters!), and I'm not entirely sure what happens when Oracle does not have the rights to actually create or write to the alert log... I'm guessing that it fails silently.

Anyway: start with background_dump_dest and work from there.
