I tried to install Oracle 8.1.5 on a SuSE 6.2 and had similiar, big problems. Sometimes I was able to install parts of the system, but the installation always was incomplete and far from usable, but this behaviour was not deterministic. It seems as if the OUI shipped from Oracle is buggy. SuSE provides a patch on their website which could successful repair the stuff:

http://www.suse.de/en/support/oracle/

Their patch (SuSE 6.2, Oracle 8.1.5i) contains several rpm packages:

tcl 7.5
jre 1.1.6v5
patch from oracle itself
startup scripts (the only SuSE specific part)
