Hi,
I had problems installing Oracle 10g on a FC2 (Fedore Core 2 Linux) machine a thought I'll share the solution here:
Problem: DBCA (Database Configuration Assistant) aborts with ORA-27125: unable to create shared memory segment
Solution: Execute the following commands from the "oracle" user:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
mv oracle oracle.bin
cat >oracle <<"EOF"
#!/bin/bash
export DISABLE_HUGETLBFS=1
exec $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle.bin $@
EOF
chmod +x oracle
Best regards.
Frank

Hi Frank,
Well i am not aware about Fedore Core 2 Linux, but i also got the same problem on RedHat Linux AS 3.0 with oracle 9.2.
I resolved this problem by properly setting some kernel parameters like SHMMAX, SHMMIN etc. You also check whether this setting is required on Fedore Linux or not. if yes so, have u properly initialized that variables. After setting proper values to these variables i was able to resolve this problem, and i hope you would be too.
By the way, its nice to answering you.

Hi,
Yes, nevertheless, I haven't mentioned it, as it is kind of "standard". The changes in my fist post was required because FC2 is using the 2.6 kernel.
For completeness sake, the following additional changes were made:
1) Added the following to /etc/sysctl.conf file and rebooted the machine:
# Kernel Parameters for Oracle 10.1.0
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
2) Changed my /etc/redhat-release file so runInstaller thinks it's a supported release:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)
3) Created "oracle" user with "dba" group, set ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID , DISPLAY environment variables.
Etc...
Best regards.
Frank

A shimmer of hope! Had tried several weeks now to come around this.
Unfortunately I do not yet succeed. When executing the above commands, my console closes when executing the "exec $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle.bin $@" command. Shell is bash. A text-only mode console logs out. I cannot enter the mentionned EOF <ctrl-d>.
So for a linux semi-administrator: what do the commands do? What do I do wrong?
Thx for help
Hansjoerg

Hi all
I tried it and many other solutions
I get DBCA running,but it dies telling it could not start PMON after 120 seconds
I tried making a database using http://www.akadia.com/services/ora_linux_install_10g.html
The database i got created after fixing a BUG in sql.bsq
(remove the return at line 5744)
After creating the paswd file (not mentioned in the above link)
orapwd file=orapwd<SID> password=secret
The script did work
after rebooting though it keeps complaining in Alert log
ORA-30012: undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS1' does not exist or of wrong type
isn't there a way to export the environment variable DISABLE_HUGETLBFS=1 so it will be part of all environments. somewhere when it boots. I also noticed that when oracle wants to bring online its database on boot time it crashes with the same old shared mem error.
In short can it be done or should i just install an older version of linux or oracle.
anyway i am quit stuck and about togive upuntil oracle delivers something decent ->no stupid error in scripts, better dealing with HUGETLBFS,or on FC3
whatever will be first.
Greetings and good luck John

Hey John,
No need to install the stuff at gentoo page. I was also getting the PMON thing. The trouble was because of previous instances of Oracle that I had installed. I deleted those directories completely. This time when I started the installer, it asked me to run a script as root - this script brought up CRS. I think CRS takes care of PMON. Hence this time around, combined with the Frank's trick, the dbca worked for me.
Best of luck,
-Saurabh

Well, I guess there is a bug in Oracle which they should fix.
I did the strace on the sqlplus and tracked the binary with tracing enabled for the child processes.
I came out the one of the child process is calling shmget wrongly. They are calling shmget(<foo>, <bar>, IPC_CREAT|IPC_EXCL|IPC_NOWAIT��)) and its the IPC_NOWAIT which is failing in linux 2.6.x.
If you see the manpage of shmget, there is no such flag IPC_NOWAIT mentioned.
I guess the posix manpage of shmget also doesn't talk about IPC_NOWAIT flag.
So, in short its a bug in oracle and not an issue with linux 2.6.x

Hi Frank,
I have tried intalling 10g on core 2 several times. Everything seems to install but when it gets to the optional database creator assistant it has trouble. My question is do you put these commands in--before i launch the installer or when??
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
mv oracle oracle.bin
cat >oracle <<"EOF"
#!/bin/bash
export DISABLE_HUGETLBFS=1
exec $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle.bin $@
EOF
chmod +x oracle

I am looking forward to trying Frank's suggestion.
Relative to SHMMAX and SHMMNI, the settings of
2147483648 and 4096 respectively seem to be the
agreed upon values to be placed in /etc/sysctl.conf

Works perfect.
Another installation issue is adding fedora-2 to the list of supported configurations. The file is in the distribution directory Disk1/install/oraparam.ini. Linux item should be :
Linux=redhat-2.1,UnitedLinux-1.0,redhat-3,fedora-2

Here's what I did:
1. Ran the installer per oracle instructions
2. Waited to get the ORA-27125
3. Left the error dialog up and performed the fix
4. Pressed Abort
5. Retry failed configuration assistant
Success!

Hi Kevin,
I did step 1, 2, 3, 4 showed in your note. When I continued the installation, the "Database Configuration Assistant" (Copy database files/Clone database creation in process) runs so slow, 2% forever. What am I missing?
Thanks.
