When you start up RH, login as the "oracle" user. I suppose that is the user that oracle was installed under.

Then, bring up a terminal session and type this literally, including the double quotes:

sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

You will get a prompt. Then type "startup".

After a minute or 2, you should see that the database has beenm started up.

The "shared memory" message you are seeing is just saying that the oracle instance is not started yet... i.e. it has not allocated it's memory structures.
