RedHat 7.0 Running
Oracle for Linux 8.1.6 - INSTALLATION HELP NEEDED!

I am soooooooooooo close...

Despite good install, including Net8, the sample db install hung at 80% completed.

Now I am trying to startup nomount
and create a dbase manually.
I cannot STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE=

svrmgrl can connect internal,
but just hangs on startup nomount

I wish it returned an error.
I would be less stuck.

My first attempt was with 128 MB RAM, so just to be sure I dropped in add'l 300+ MB, then deinstalled and reinstalled O8i.

Again, installation ran to completion,
except starter database creation crapped out at '80%'.

Still just hangs on startup nomount
with manual attempt after connecting internal.

Is there a problem with these versions of RH and O8i? Is there a known workaround to this glitch?

If something was wrong in my pfile, then I would get an error returned, right?

thanks very much

Jeremy Donson
