I would appreciate if anybody can help me for the problem which has stuck me for quite a while?

I have Solaris 8 for Intel installed successfully on an Intel/266MHz/128MB/6.4GB machine.
Then I tried to install Oracle 8.1.5 for Intel Solaris, but I can not even run runInstaller.

1. The account: oracle, which is in the group of oinstall which in turn has privilege of root group
2. Error Messages:

Initializing Java Virtual Machine from
../stage/Components/oracle/swd/jre/1.1.7/1/DataFiles/Expanded/jre//solaris/b in/jre. Please wait...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: I/O error

3. Environment:
