Exactly *how* do you create and start your instance?!? Looks like some GUI tool (dbca?).
What parameters did you change? If none - there's the problem, at least on a 512M machine...

If you used dbca - do it agin, and now do *not* let dbca create and start, but *only* save the script.

Do you have oracle sowftare owner and groups? Traditionally, oracle (user), dba and oinstall
