Sorry, I refused to go there, so I never tried to find any of these "fixes". Just did a patch search, but found nothing. Oracle support might be able to figure it out. I think it is silly to do these patches. Backleveling the kernel opens all sorts of security holes. This does not seem like a reasonable choice and is not reasonable support from the vendor. Another interesting note along this path. I was trying to confirm the 10g cd I had burned was valid, so I ran the 10g installer on my desktop Mandrake 9.x linux box. I run a 9i db for testing on it. There are probably workarounds here, but I find it interesting that they would do this: [oracle@moria mnt]$ uname -a Linux moria 2.4.19-36mdk #1 Fri Nov 28 21:15:25 MST 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux [oracle@moria mnt]$ ./runInstaller Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
