are you sure that you set ORACLE_SID appropriately? sqlplus /nolog connect sys/change_on_install@XXX as sysdba startup (nomount)
replace XXX with your SID, typically ORCL. if this doesn't help, try: use O9i on RH7.2 twice, SunOS 5.8 twice, W2k twice- they all run fine. you need a workaround to get it started, esp the binutils must be downgraded for installation. (rpm -Uhv --nodeps --force binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm from release RH7.0). after installation of oracle you can upgrade again. (rpm -Uhv binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9.i386.rpm) reinstall it. I happened to install it this weekend twice and had no problems- but I used kernel 2.4.7-10smp. br marc ltiu schrieb: > Hello Guys, > > Linux 2.4.18 > Pentium III > both Oracle 9i and 8i > used netca and netmgr to configure listener > listener is configured and listening off port 1521 > init.ora is ready and in under "<OracleHome>/dbs" > > in sqlplus, the command "startup nomount" gives me this error: > > ORA-03113 end-of-file on communication channel > > I've read the 9i ErrorCodes documentation, it explains what the problem > could be but not a solution.
