Hei,

I just installed Oracle 8.04 on Solaris 2.5.

When starting up the database for the first time I got the following error:

SVRMGR> startup nomount pfile=initsid3.ora ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [SKGMBUSY], [1], [0], [0], [0],
[], [

], []
ORA-07252: spcre: semget error, could not allocate semaphores. SVR4 Error: 28: No space left on device Additional information: -268447208
Additional information: -268447292

I then decreased the value of processes in initsid3.ora down to 10, but then I get this error:

SVRMGR> startup nomount pfile=initsid3.ora ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [SKGMBUSY], [1], [0], [0], [0],
[], [

], []
ORA-27100: shared memory realm already exists SVR4 Error: 17: File exists

Now it seems that whatever I try to do I get this message when trying to start up my instance.

Does anyone know what file it is referring to? Does anyone know how I get rid of this error?

If I set ORACLE_SID=sid4 instead of ORACLE_SID=sid3, I am able to start up the instance fine.

Oracle support told me to install patch 8.0.4.3.0 which I now have done, but I still get the same error.

Thanks,
