cannot create a new 9i2 database nor start an existing 8i database under suse linux 7.3

If I try to start an existing 8i database in sqlplus 9, the following error occours:

connect system/manager as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance.

startup nomount			OK
alter database mount;		Database altered
alter database open;		Oracle Instance terminated. Disconnection forced

How can I start the database with 9i ???

If I try to create a new database with dbca or sqlpus 9, the following error occours:

ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

How I con create a new database?

Thanks for your help !
