Re: ORA-03113

are you sure that you set ORACLE_SID appropriately? sqlplus /nolog
connect sys/change_on_install_at_XXX as sysdba startup (nomount)

replace XXX with your SID, typically ORCL.

if this doesn't help, try:

use O9i on RH7.2 twice, SunOS 5.8 twice, W2k twice- they all run fine. you need a workaround to get it started, esp the binutils must be downgraded for
installation. (rpm -Uhv --nodeps --force binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm from release RH7.0). after installation
of oracle you can upgrade again. (rpm -Uhv binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9.i386.rpm)

reinstall it.

I happened to install it this weekend twice and had no problems- but I used kernel 2.4.7-10smp.
