There is a bug in the dbstart script. Either run svrmgrl, connect internal and do a startup, or correct the dbstart script error, you should find the problem near this comment:

# Figure out if this is a V5, V6, or V7 database. Do we really need V5?

about 8 lines down, it looks for the pl/sql version. I changed this to read:

# Figure out if this is a V5, V6, or V7 database. Do we really need V5?

            if [ -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqldba ] ; then
                VERSION=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqldba command=exit | awk '
                        /SQL\*DBA: (Release|Version)/ {split($3, V, ".") ;
                        print V[1]}'`
            else
                if test -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl; then
                    VERSION=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl command=exit | awk '
****                /(JServer|PL\/SQL) (Release|Version)/ {substr($3,1,3) ;
                        print substr($3,1,3)}'`
                else
                        VERSION="8.2"
                fi
            fi

            STATUS=1

BTW, it's the line with **** which need to be removed!
