Hamid, Generally, finding an "alert*.log" file in the default "$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log" directory, even when BACKGROUND_DUMP_DEST has been set, indicates that someone issued the SHUTDOWN ABORT command when the instance wasn't already running. Alternatively, issuing the STARTUP FORCE command (which first performs a SHUTDOWN ABORT then a STARTUP) when the instance isn't already running could get the same effect.
In other words, I think it's a red herring -- you probably shouldn't worry about it. Set your BACKGROUND_DUMP_DEST, USER_DUMP_DEST, CORE_DUMP_DEST, and AUDIT_FILE_DEST parameters to "$ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/bdump", ".../udump", ".../cdump", and ".../adump" respectively and start over. If the ORA-03113 occurs again, look for "core" or ".trc" files in those directories and log a TAR with Oracle Support...
