Re: Oracle 8i 8.1.7 on Solaris 8

    ORA-24323: value not allowed

        Cause:  A null value or a bogus value was passed in for a
                mandatory parameter.
       Action:  Verify that all mandatory parameters are properly
                initialized.

This seems to indicate that you may need to uncomment a parameter in the init.ora. It may very likely be that it is a bug.

I suspect there is an incompatability between the default init.ora file and the kernel parameter settings on your machine. If commenting out db_files does not work, post a copy of the complete init.ora AND the stand file containing kernel parameter settings somewhere under the /etc filesystem. Then we can examine the cause.
