I am presuming that a rather long or a large number of transactions were in progress on this database when it was shut down. That is the reason it is going no further than the mount state. The instance must clean up the database before putting everything back online. I had a situation that took 2 hours on a UNIXWARE box between the MOUNTED phrase and finishing the startup.

Hope this helps!

PS. The more times you bounce this, the longer the final startup is going to take as it sorts everything out. Patience is the name of the game now.
