OH, OLD problem. Take a look in /etc/oratab . The file is formatted as <sid>:<Oracle_HOME>:<Y/N>
Where the Y/N means do I or don't I start the database. It defaults to N. Change it to Y and dbstart will start your database.

The lsnrctl starts nicely, however when I type "dbstart" then it does absolutelly nothing. No error message, but the database won't start. Any ideas?
