 Sounds like the shared memory segment didn't get deleted. As Stephane said, the first thing to try and do is a shutdown abort. 9 out of 10 times that'll delete it. If it doesn't, find the shared memory segment with "ipcs -ma" and look for segments owned by oracle. If you only have one instance you should only have one shared memory segment. You can delete it with "ipcrm -m shmid". If you have more than one instance it's a little more difficult. You can determine the shmid of the other instances that are still running by going into svrmgrl, connecting internal, and entering "oradebug ipc". Look for the Shmid in the output (on the screen for 7.x, in a tracefile for 8i) and right down that number. Do the same for each running instance then go back to the ipcs -ma listing and delete the shared memory segment that doesn't belong to any of the other instances.

If you still can't start the database, and it's a 7.x instance, look in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs for a file named sgadef${ORACLE_SID}.dbf and delete it. Then try again.

Try a shutdown abort then a startup.

About support, if it is a production database tell them, it's supposed to be their top priority.
