hehehehehe...good old rh-7.1 with oracle no less. this has been the bane of my existence at work for the past month or so. > The command dbassist based on jre freezes during the > database creation on 1% value. > with free or sar, I can see the occupied memory > growing until 100%, then swap growing until 100%.

I'm surprised you even got it to install cleanly. 2) the default kernel that comes with RH-7.1 is 2.4.2. not only is this kernel ancient, but its *extremely* buggy, and does a horrid job managing memory. RH provides a 2.4.9 kernel for RH-7.1 as an upgrade. i'd strongly urge you to use it, if you're not already. 3) *ONLY* Oracle-9iR1 is qualified by Oracle to run on RH-7.1, and it requires that you upgrade binutils in order to get all the libraries to properly build during the oracle install process. Don't even bother trying to install 9i unless you upgrade binutils first. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
