Sorry Daud I am taking a look at the note you cited now.

You are running dbca as oracle user correct? Have the permissions for all the raw partitions been set correctly so that oracle owns and can write to them?

The metalink note suggested perhaps there was a problem with oratab?

Have you checked permissions on this file? It should be out there "BEFORE" dbca is running.
