Re: 8.1.7 Shared Memory problems during solaris 8 install

By judging how you reconfig your kernal (through /etc/system file), I guess you using SUN/Solaris.

For new kernal configuration take effect, you need reboot your machine. I don't know if you have done so before you start to install ORACLE.

One way to check your current configuration (include kernal parameter), try this command: sysdef -i
