Re: Oracle 8.1.6 on RH 7.0 - kernel parameters

Again me,

As far as i can tell, this should not be the problem.

I did a expert install of Mandrake server, which should be the same kernel as the automated install, and it also hanged on the 80 %.

If i did not create the database, i was not able to connect internal.

so i couldn't do anything with the install.

Hope this extra info helps a bit
