Rather than cut and paste from Werner's informative website, I will direct you to google for it. Googling for LD_ASSUME_KERNEL Oracle brought up the answer in the first 2 hits.

Also RHAS4 has 2.6 kernel, maybe that's the reason why the

No, Oracle 9 requires this with the 2.6 Kernel.

The 10.2.0.1's oraenv script does still have LD_LIBRARY_PATH in it.

I don't understand this sentence. It seems to imply that you don't think LD_LIBRARY_PATH is necessary with 10g.
