First of all I'd like to thank Fabrizio, Yang and R.F. Pels for providing explanation and hints that lead to solution.

I ended up upgrading kernel to the latest one: 2.6.9-1.3_FC2, renaming
'oracle.bin' back to 'oracle' and adding vm/hugetlb_shm_group='xxx' to
/etc/sysctl.

Note: Before upgrading the kernel I noticed that /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group didn't exist and I was getting an
'unknown key error' on vm/hugetlb_shm_group='xxx' line in sysctl.

Just a last word to Sybrand Bakker:

your post wasn't helpfull at all. If you don't know the answer to some question, nobody knows everything, it's not the end of the world - just don't post the reply.

Before you post, ask yourself if you're really trying to help out or are you just advertising your cynicism.

• '....As you screwed up, I don't think anyone can answer your questions.'
  • your comment has proven wrong. People knew the answer to the questions.
• '... your own non-Oracle supported procedures.'
  • totally not the place for this remark - as it is a well know fact that Oracle is not officialy supported on Fedora Core and majority other Linux distributions. It is also a fact that Oracle *does* work on other distros with a few tweaks here and there.

As I've said, if you don't know the answer, please don't try to
'help'.
