I installed Oracle 8i on 6.0 and upgraded to 6.5 without any problems. I had
similar problems like yours when upgrading to 7.0 and using the "secure"
kernel. Using the normal 2.2.15 kernel worked just fine. Have not had a chance
to get into work early (so I can borrow the NT box on the T1 that has a burner
so I can dl 8.1.6 /8iR2).
