Hi,

I just installed oracle 10g on Fedora core 2 (using http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gInstallationOnFedora2.php)

Installation seemed to go ok, having trouble creating a database using scripts created by dbca, its goes ok up to startup nomount pfile='....

I get an error pstack not found (i dont seem to have it anywhere on my system), i guess this isnt that important, I just dont get a stack trace in the trace file.

What I do get it this:

/u01/app/oracle/admin/TESTDB/udump/testdb_ora_2974.trc Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/10 System name: Linux

This info about pmon is repeated a few times, then comes the in memory trace dump

4B18CBD3:00000001 249 0 10254 34 KSBS1P: process USER trying to start background PMON

the detached process message is repated a few times thin this comes

KSTDUMP: End of in-memory trace dump

Anyone any idea whats wrong, I know fedora core 2 isnt supported but it should work I think.

this bit looks weird to me

memory info: free memory = 0.00M
swap info: free = 0.00M alloc = 0.00M total = 0.00M

Which blatantly isnt right, my machine has 256 Mb of RAM and my df -k shows this

I know 512 is recommended, but this is only trying to get it to work

[root_at_davelinux root]# df -k
