According to:-

http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15661/toc.htm

The system must be running the following (or later) kernel version:

          Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 and Asianux 1.0
                                 2.4.21-27.EL
         Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 and Asianux 2.0
                                   2.6.9-5.0.5.EL

Install "oracleasm" library and create volumes. Re-login as oracle.
During the DBCA run ,first time building ASM database just before creating +ASM instance, the request to run as root following command:-
# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add
will come up to start the first time CRS daemons. Scripts dbshut and dbstart now work perfect:- properly starting and stopping +ASM instance (compare with [2]).
