Hello Adnan.

I would say that this setting is your problem. The Kernel wont allow more than 2GB being used for Shared Memory. Since the SGA is shared among all the oracle processes it has to reside in shared memory. Thus do you want to increase the SGA beyond 2GB then that kernel parameter must grow as well.

Hope this makes sence to you.
