I installed 8i on a p4 without any problems.

Red Hat 6.2 is the certified platform for the initial releases of 8i I think - it is a lot easier as you don't need the glibc stubs patch.

Make sure your LANG environment setting is either set to C or unset - the installer won't work if its set to any other locale

If you have another java version installed, be careful java environment variables are not stuffing up the installer - for the initial instalation you don't need any java environment variables set (like JAVA_HOME, CLASSPATH etc)
