There are several notes on this issue in metalink. Maybe the more relevant is this:

http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=131761.1

In short: check for errors or missing parameters in your listener.ora (even if it is a fresh installation).

Maybe your ip/hostname is different from the one stored there. Use 'ifconfig' and 'hostname'.

Regards

PS: Only the Enterprise version of SuSE (SLES8 and SLES9) are certified with oracle.
