Once again, as with every relese of oracle since 8.x, problems on Linux.

I have followed three different guides (all of which differered btw) and
still no luck. (The guides I used were one on oracle's site which explicitly
said was for SLES 9 and 10.2.0.1 <http://10.2.0.1>, a guide on Novell's
site, and some other site)
http://ftp.novell.com/partners/oracle/docs/10gR2_sles9_install.pdf
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/smiley_10gdb_install.html#sles9
http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle10gOnSUSE.shtml

The database installed cleanly, however, every attempt at creating a
database have failed.

Attempt 1)
Using manually set kernel parameters as the oracle guide suggest. Using
dbca, it dies with this error: "ORA-27102 (See ORA-27102.ora-code.com): out of memory".
Using a manual method with scripts: (generated using dbca)

I then tried the exact same steps using orarun.pm <http://orarun.pm> (latest
version, rev 15), and received the exact same error messages.

So, is anyone running 10.2.0.1 <http://10.2.0.1> on SLES 9 and what
deviations from the documentation were required to get a database to
install?

Thanks,
