Bevor you start the servermanager copy the init.ora-File(residing in the

$ORACLE_HOME/dba directory) into a new one . The best name for this file is: init<ORASID>.ora ( The same SID-name that you define in the linux environment ). Change defaults in this file.

Then you start the servermanager and type "connect internal". Now enter "startup nomount pfile ' $ORACLE_HOME/dba/initORASID.ora' " and then the instance will start.You'll see the memory of the SGA (System Global Area).
Now you can create the database (with CREATE DATABASE...).

I hope that will fix your problem.

With best regards
