Re: Oracle 10g on Linux kernel 2.6

Hi,

I had the same problem but managed to find this on the web.

as root:

add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf

vm.overcommit_memory = 1

cd to $ORACLE_HOME/bin and exeute the following

# chmod g+s oracle
# chmod u+s oracle

# ls -l oracle
-rwsr-sr-- oracle

reboot ( unless you know another way for sysctl.conf to be re-read) and it should all work.

regards

Andy
