Vague memories:

Are you sure X is supported? Maybe you need motif?

Which installation instructions are you using? Are you following the readme files?

Is anything written to the install.log?

Have you tried using the installer to create a staging area?

Who are you logged in as?

I don't know about your platform, I recall some platforms required you to create a directory to mount the cdrom to, then you had to make some sort of links to make the files look right... What commands are you using to mount the cd? What does an ls -l show you?

Did you make any kernel modifications?

What are your settings for ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_TERM, ORACLE_SID, SRCHOME, TMPDIR, ORACLE_PATH, TWO_TASK and PATH? umask?

What directory are you in when you start the installation?
