Among changes like nearly the whole data dictionary, the format of the ROWIDs for every row in the DB is different. You need to migrate the DB. Kindly RTFM.

In order to be able to migrate we installed 7.3.4 on this machine, copied datafiles and config.ora, init.ora and listener.ora We only run the old listener (this starts correctly) and we try to bring up our copy on this machine. We encounter the following problem pablo:oracle>/opt/oracle/product/7.3.4/dbs $svrmgrl Oracle Server Manager Release 2.3.4.0.0 - Production Copyright (c) Oracle Corporation 1994, 1995.
