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
