R9.2.0 on RH 7.3: Memory problem: Linux or the Installer?.

Having the following problem. Perhaps someone had the same. In that case, please help.
I have P4 with 1GB of RAM and 2GB of SWAP. No disk space problem. No shared memory problem. I installed the Client of Oracle9i (9.2R2) on redhat 7.3 (standard installation as Server). I have already noted here that with the Oracle installer running, the system uses almost all the RAM available (99.5% of the total), but at least it can conclude the installation. However it never uses the SWAP (100% free).
When tried to install the Database (enterprise or standard), the installation continues as long as there is RAM available. When reached 99.6% of the total used, it does not give any response (it hangs at 41% of the installation). Even here no SWAP portion is used.
Is there a problem of the kernel dispached with Rh7.3 in using the swap? does Oracle Installer really needs so much RAM? or am I missing something in the installation process of the Database? I am using jdk-1.3.1_04 downloaded from the sun website.
I would appreciate if you cc your response also to [email protected] I may have problem to access the Forum in the coming two days.
Thank you in advance.

Check the Support Matrix (if you can find it) and it will tell you that Redhat and most Linux are not supported. I bought Redhat 7.3 Professional , a WinBook with lots of disk and speed and tried to get 9.2 to run on it. no way. It's not certified so it's not supported. Even though I explained that what I was trying to do was get rid of Windows XP and move to RedHat 7.3 and would they send me Oracle 9.2 when it was available. I got the CDs 3 days later. but it won't work. Now I am left with the choise of buying the 9AS package or going backt to XP.
I do not thing that Oracle is living up to the spirit of LINUX. They say Linux but they mean a very specific subset. Who do they think they are, Bill Gates?

  • Pages Memory problem?

    I have created a 96 page book in "pages" with many photographs (jpegs). It looks fine when I open it in "Pages" but when I try to convert the file to PDF (using export, print to file, even make postscript file) all the photographs beyond page 70 appear as rectangles with an x through them and a ? inside.
    I can split the book in half (pages 1-46 and pages 47-96) and the photos convert to pdfs okay. It seems there is not enough memory somewhere to convert all the images into pdfs. I have tried on 2 different computers with different operating systems so do not think the memory problem is with the hardware.Is there a memory limit built into the "pages" software that is causing this??
    thanks

  • Computer freeze / Memory problem?

    Hi,
    I assembled my new PC approx. 1 month ago (full spec attached at the bottom of the message).
    Since then I'm having a lot of freezes (freeze, not BSOD). I tried using several OS versions with no luck, so I though it's a memory problem.
    Testing the memory, each dimm by itself, with memtest86+ succeeded. I even tried to check each of the memory banks and the test still succeeded.
    When testing with more than one dimm (both with single-channel and dual-channel configuration) I'm getting freezes during the check.
    What could be the problem?
    Thanks!
    The full spec:
    Case: Thermaltake Armor+ ESA VH6001BWS
    PSU: Thermaltake ESA 850W
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650
    CPU Cooler: Thermaltake BigWater 780e ESA
    Motherboard: MSI P7N2 Diamond (Bios version is 1.1, this also occurs at 1.0)
    Memory: 4 x OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum 2GB (OCZ3P16004GK), 8GB Total
    Sound card: MSI X-Fi Xtreme Audio (the one that is bundled with the P7N2)
    GPU: MSI GeForce 280 GTX OC
    OS: Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 - x64 edition
    The system is not overclocked at all, All the bios settings are set to default.

    OK, That's what I did:
    Changed back the clock speed to auto (it was auto set back to 1333MHz), Changed the voltage of the memory and the NB back to "Auto".
    Then I changed the memory to work as 9-9-9-24 and tested it with 2 dimms in a dual-channel configuration.
    So far, It's looks like it's working and working well (2 passes completed successfully).
    Quote from: John_Doe on 18-January-09, 02:38:37
    Assuming that the tests will go smooth, I would like to ask if this is a recommended configuration to stay with (1333MHz, voltages at "Auto", memory set to 9-9-9-24)?
    Running those dimms not at overclocked & overvoltaged (and even in "lower speed" then it should) should prevent them from having short lifetime, Am I right?
    Yes, because their DDR3 chips have been designed to work at 1333MHz with 9-9-9-24.
    "Have been tested to work at 1600" is another fish in another (OCZ) ocean.
    good luck

  • 875P NEO-FIS2R no boot with memory problems

    I just got a NEO FIS2R board, a P4 2.6C, and two 512MB sticks of OCZ PC3200 Premier DDR.  I installed the board and connected only my hard drive, video card (GeForce4 Ti4200), both sticks of memory, and CPU (on a 300W PSU).  At first, the board would eventually make it to the "booting OS" stage, after spending a little time on "initializing video" (normal) and "assigning ISA" or something like that (don't know what that is, since the board has no ISA slot).  Unfortunately, although my monitor's light changed from yellow to green, meaning it was getting a signal, the screen remained blank.  I gave it a few minutes and finally turned off the computer.  After reseating the video card and memory and disconnecting the hard drive, the same problem occurred.  Finally, I took out one of the sticks.  After this, the computer hung on that ISA thing for about ten seconds, and then went back to "detecting memory" and gave a 2-1 error beep.  I switched between the two OCZ sticks and also two sticks slow generic PC2100 memory that I had in my old computer and I know work fine.  Eventually the computer stopped pausing at the ISA stage and went to the memory detection after only a second or so.  Since the video was obviously acting strange, I disconnected the video card so the computer contained only CPU and memory.  The bootup sequence was the same, except that in place of the single beep during video intialization, it gave me a 2-8 error code.  Finally, I took the board out of my case and laid it flat on the wooden table and tried again.  Still no boot.  I also cleared CMOS several times throughout this procedure, so that shouldn't be the problem.
    Can anyone figure out what's going on here?  It's especially confusing to me that the computer booted all the way (sans video) at first, then started having memory problems, and that the system passes the initial memory test but then goes back to it after that ISA thing (this is all according to the D-Bracket).

    On the compatability list, it says
    "Kingston KVR400X64C25/512
    W942508BH-5 (Winbond)"
    Since the memory I am looking at is CL2, does that mean it might not be compatible after all?
    If you're wondering whether the Kingston HyperX RAM you're looking at is the same as the Kingston RAM you've found on the compatibililty list, the answer is NO.  The RAM from the list that you're referring to has a model number that starts with "KVR", which stands for "Kingston Value RAM".  HyperX RAM has model numbers that start with the letters "KHX".
    You might also note that there is no listing for any of the HyperX stuff on that compatibility chart.  However, I have seen posts from several people on this forum who seem to be using HyperX RAM with no problem.  I suspect that MSI hasn't updated that list in awhile, because there are no listings for many of the newer PC 3500, 3700, and 4000 RAM models.
    I personally went 512mb (2x256) of OCZ PC3200EL DDR RAM, it is listed as 'OCZ (PN- OCZ400256EL ) PN- OCZ400256EL' on the compatibility chart.  I had plenty of problems trying to run a set of Corsair TwinX 3200PCT ver. 1.2 on my 875P NEO board, and I settled them by switching over to the OCZ RAM only because it was listed.  While it wasn't my first choice I'm pretty happy with it because so far it's been running stable at CAS 2,2,3,6, with the voltage at 2.65.

    Ranveer

    Hi,
       I suppose you are trying to store some particular value in memory in one program and then retieve it in another.
    If so try using EXPORT data TO MEMORY ID 'ZC1'. and IMPORT data FROM MEMORY ID 'ZC1'.
    To use SET PARAMETER/GET PARAMETER the specified parameter name should be in table TPARA. Which I don't think is there in your case.
    Sample Code :
    Data declarations for the function codes to be transferred
    DATA : v_first  TYPE syucomm,
           v_second TYPE syucomm.
    CONSTANTS : c_memid TYPE char10 VALUE 'ZCCBPR1'.
    Move the function codes to the program varaibles
      v_first  = gv_bdt_fcode.
      v_second = sy-ucomm.
    Export the function codes to Memory ID
    EXPORT v_first
           v_second TO MEMORY ID c_memid.        "ZCCBPR1  --- Here you are sending the values to memory
    Then retrieve it.
    Retrieve the function codes from the Memory ID
      IMPORT v_first  TO v_fcode_1
             v_second TO v_fcode_2
      FROM MEMORY ID c_memid.                                   "ZCCBPR1
      FREE MEMORY ID c_memid.                                   "ZCCBPR1
    After reading the values from memory ID free them your problem should be solved.
    Thanks

  • Memory Problems with Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit

    In preparation to rebuild my Windows Search Index, I installed the Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit on my system (Vista Business 64).  When I finally rebuilt the index, I wasn't too surprised by what I saw happen, namely, the SearchFilter.exe process would kick in whenever I wasn't using the system and just eat RAM.  One time I turned it on and it had allocated over 4,000 MB (and my system only has 4,030 MB available) so of course it was forcing all the other processes to hard fault (ie. everything was moving like molasses--for example, it took 20 minutes to put the thing to sleep).  But I just let it do it's work, figuring that perhaps this was to be expected relative to the small library of PDF's that I've accumulated on my computer, ranging from LaTeX generated text files, to containers for hi-res scans.  So, after a day and a half of basically not using my laptop, everything finally calmed down and I enjoyed the benefits of searching the content of my library from the Windows Start menu--for a short while.
    However, to my dismay I've encountered the problem that this freezing of my computer would now occur after everytime I download a new PDF (in this particular case they were Google Books scans) and then left the computer to idle.  Again, the SearchFilter.exe would allocate all of my RAM for itself and just push everything else onto the Virtual RAM, which means the SLOWEST possibly fetching you can get.  I had to uninstall as this was making my computer unusable for 15-30 minutes after each idle. Everything is back in working order without the iFilter, but I would like to know if anyone has reported such problems on x64 systems.  Obviously, I will also report the problem to Microsoft, since the search engine should certainly have the precaution to handle such memory problems.   However, it is a problem that is created by the Adobe PDF iFilter interacting with the Windows Search engine.

    Hello,
    We believe we have figured this out.  It looks like it has to do with the length of the default folder location for the Adobe iFilter.
    I was able to reproduce the issue and the following resolved it for me.  See if this resolves it for you all as well.
    Here is how to get Adobe Version 11 PDF filter to work.
     1 . If you haven’t already, run the following in SQL Server:
    Sp_fulltext_service ‘Load_os_resources’, 1
    Go
    --you might also need to run: 
    sp_fulltext_service ‘Verify_signature’,0  --This is used to validate trusted iFilters. 0 disables it. So use with caution.
    --go
    2. Stop SQL Server.  (Make sure FDHost.exe stops)
    3.  
    Uninstall the Adobe ifilter (because it defaulted to having spaces or the folder name is too long).
    4.  
    Reinstall the Adobe iFilter and when it prompts for where to install it, change it to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter
    5.  Once the installation finishes, go the computer’s Environment variables. Add the following to the PATH.
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter\BIN
    NOTE: it must include the BIN folder
    NOTE: If you had the OLD location that included spaces, remove it from the path environment variable.
    6. Start SQL Server
    7.  IF you had an existing Full-text index on PDFs, drop the full-text index and recreate it.
    8. You should now get results when you run sys.dm_fts_index_keywords('db','tblname')  --Note: Change db to be the actual database name and tblname to be the actual table name.
     Give this a try and see if this fixes yours. 
    Sincerely,
    Rob Beene, MSFT

  • MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR Memory problems

    I'm trying to burn in a system in a 50 deg C (122 deg F) room for a minimum of 12 hours.  The main system components are as follows:
    Motherboard:  MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR
    CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2800+
    Memory: 2x512 OCZ PC3200 EL
    My problem is that the burn-in software continues to freeze up during the memory test.  I've already contacted the software manufacturers and the software is stable.  It's a problem with the way the motherboard handles the memory.  I've tried putting the memory in dual channel configuration and changing the timing settings in the BIOS.  The SPD settings are 2.5-3-3-7.  Right now I have them at 3-4-3-8.  It's a lot more stable than it was under the default settings but it still freezes up sometime after 7 hours.  Unfortunately, I wasn't around when it froze so I don't know exactly how long it lasted.  I can say that after 7 hours, it wasn't showing any slowdown in performance.  If anyone could think of anything else I might be able to do to get the system stable, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks for the suggestions.  The CPU FSB is 200, so it's already matched up there.  And we have a ton of fans already.  There are two in the front, 4 inside and 1 on the back.  It's a custom case, 2u high.  The power supply is oversized and more than adequate to provide the required power.  I have four of these units running right now.  Two with 2x512 sticks and two with 1x1024 sticks.  For each combination, the memory clock speed for one is 166 and 200 for the other.  I have been loosening up the memory timings trying to get the system stable, but it still isn't.  If the power supply is good, and I'm unable to cool the system anymore due to limititions within the case, is there anything you can think of to stabilize the system.  Maybe other settings in the BIOS or suggestions on how to go about getting good timings for the memory.  Thanks.

  • Memory problems with PreparedStatements

    Driver: 9.0.1 JDBC Thin
    I am having memory problems using "PreparedStatement" via jdbc.
    After profiling our application, we found that a large number oracle.jdbc.ttc7.TTCItem objects were being created, but not released, even though we were "closing" the ResultSets of a prepared statements.
    Tracing through the application, it appears that most of these TTCItem objects are created when the statement is executed (not when prepared), therefore I would have assumed that they would be released when the ResultSet is close, but this does not seem to be the case.
    We tend to have a large number of PreparedStatement objects in use (over 100, most with closed ResultSets) and find that our application is using huge amounts of memory when compared to using the same code, but closing the PreparedStatement at the same time as closing the ResultSet.
    Has anyone else found similar problems? If so, does anyone have a work-around or know if this is something that Oracle is looking at fixing?
    Thanks

    From your mail, it is not very clear:
    a) whether your session is an HTTPSession or an application defined
    session.
    b) What is meant by saying: JSP/Servlet is growing.
    However, some pointers:
    a) Are there any timeouts associated with session.
    b) Try to profile your code to see what is causing the memory leak.
    c) Are there references to stale data in your application code.

    i have a mac mini mid 2011, this device have; 2,3GHz and 2 Gb Memmory.I want to upgrade the memory and i need the list of supported memory modules. i am from turkey.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Mid 2011 Mac mini supports 8 GB of memory officially, but you can install up to 16 GB of RAM, so you can use 2, 4 and 8 GB modules. You can buy more RAM from OWC or Crucial.
    If you are looking for memory at a local shop, make sure you buy 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • Dual Channel memory problems on Neo 875P

    I am having considerable trouble getting the NEO 875P to work with dual channel DDR400 DIMMs. I have two Kingston KVR400X64C25 DDR400 256MB memory modules, each of which works correctly by itself. However, once I move one
    of the modules to channel B, I cannot boot my operating system (currently Windows XP.) The problem also occurs in Windows 2000, which I also have on the system. I receive blue screen errors that indicate paging/memory problems. I have upgraded my BIOS to the latest version (1.3)* in the hope that it would solve my problems, but it has not. The POST screen detects that there is 512MB of memory working in Dual Channel mode, but even when it does get through the O/S booting process (rarely), it crashes within minutes. Putting just one of the chips in makes the system perfectly stable. If anyone has any information, please let me know!
    Thanks,

    * My board was dead after trying to flash the 1.3 BIOS, but after about 10 attempts of using CTRL+HOME method to recover the BIOS, it finally worked with version 1.0. I then re-flashed with 1.3, and it rebooted fine. Are there any updates about all of the problems with v1.3 ?

    >I can only answer based on what I've read on this forum
    I figured as much, I was just wondering if you knew whether MSI themselves frequents the forums or answers emails sufficiently.
    I've had an interesting development though. I stumbled upon Tom's Hardware Guide's article about 875P motherboards at http://www17.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20030519/i875p-01.html
    They mentioned that they needed to increase the memory voltage from 2.5 to 2.6 in the BIOS to get some memory modules to work. I did this, and for the first time, I am running in Dual channel DDR mode. However, the article also mentions that "the system does not run completely stably", so I guess I'll have to wait and see if it crashes again. However, I'm far enough beyond the XP splash screen to post this message, so I guess we're getting somewhere!

  • Memory problems with my a215?

    Hi, for more than a year  i bought (unfortunately) an a215-4817, and since that day i am having anything else but problems. Now i am having problems with the memory i think. At first my laptop freezed, keyboard was not responding or came out those famous blue screens. In all cases i must shutdown the computer pressing down the power button for a few secs, after that when i tried to start it again didnt do anything, i could only hear the fan working, some disk reading noise but the screen was off and never went on and show me at least the toshiba logo.  The only way i had to fix this was first taking the battery out and pressing the power button for more than 10 secs. Later, i had to take both memory modules out besides the battery. At that moment i came to the windows event viewer and see some "WHEA-logger" warnings that talk about "TLB erros", "bus or interconection error" and ''Hierarchy memory error". Today the only way i can boot up my computer is using only one memory module placed on the first slot. That is the reason i am using it with only 1GB. I am really lost with this, run a lot memory tests ( microsoft Vista has one and Memtest+86 that comes in Ubuntu CD) and any of them trow me some error. 
    Might have broken the memory controller of slot 2?or maybe something with the dual channel controller? can be a problem with the bios? i have version 2.0, never gave me problem but could it be corrupt? I have tried to reinstall it but the installer hasnt the option to reinstall, where can i download the old version and install it again so i can reinstall de versiin 2.0?. And my last question is if somebody knows where to toshiba should i write to tell them how mad i am with them, this laptop was the worst thing i have ever bought, and their customer service in latin america (i am from argentina) is terrible.
    So if somebody have any idea of what the problem could be, i will be grateful. Sorry about my english.
    Thanks, and greetings from argentina!

  • 865PE Neo2 Memory problems

    Hi All,
    I just put together a new pc with the following configuration:
    P4 2.4GHz FSB 800 w/ stock HSF
    MSI 865PE Neo2-LS
    2 x 256MB Hynix DDR400
    ATI Radeon 9000Pro
    80GB Maxtor 7200 RPM
    Enermax 350W Dual Fan PSU
    Windows XP Pro
    The problem: When using the two sticks of memory (in either dual channel or single channel) the pc crashes everytime starting Windows.
    If I use only one stick it boots up fine. Hynix is on MSI approved vendor list so I can't see what the problem might be!!
    I tried with different memory type (DDR333) in one channel and works fine.
    So, each time I use more than one slot the system crashes.
    Any ideas why? Any help would be great.
    Thanks in advance.

    The only time when my windows crashes is when i use the "Turbo" setting in the bios..The only setting i can use is "Slow". But that's because i don't use good memory, the memory you use is high rated.
    Do you have the latest bios, 1.30? And did you try some other memory Dram timings? Try to contact Hynix, did you try this site

    maybe it will help you any further. )

  • MS-6380 Memory Problem

    I have a MS-6380E with the latest BIOS and chipset drivers. Athlon 1.5 Ghz processor, Geo4 Ti series card with 64MB ram and latest drivers and an SBLive Platinum 5.1 card, with the latest drivers. Windows XP Pro is the operating system. The system has 2 PC2100 256MB sticks of DDR ram on the board. This past weekend I tried to install a 3rd chip, PC2100 512MB chip to bring the system up to a Gig of ram. The system would reboot immediatly upon logging into Windows. I took the memory back and exchanged it for another. Installed it with similar results. I tried all three slots with the new memory and the two existing. No, I didn't try the new memory by itself. I finally go it to appear stable for a little bit but I also play Dark Age of Camelot and the latest symptoms were that the system would kick me back to the desktop as soon as I got to the initial "connecting" screen in Dark Age. I also had other odd behaviour with the additional ram installed like my modem taking longer to validate my connection. When I went back to the pre-existing configuration 512MB total, everything would stabilize. The DDR brand was Centron, I know it's not the same manufacturor as my other two sticks but I don't recall the brand on those.  Also, just in case you needed to know Dark Age of Camelot is an MMORPG. I checked their tech section and nothing on this problem and their game. I've since returned the memory and have resigned to maxing out at 512MB tho the system specs say I can go to 3GB. I really like this board but am frustrated at the memory problem.

  • MSI Big Bang Trinergy Memory problem.....

    I recently purchased a Bing Bang Trinergy mobo. It's combined with an Intel i3 540 cpu and 2 Kingston KVR1333D3N9/2G ram modules. The mobo came with BIOS 1.1 version. When I've tried to update the BIOS to any version above 1.1 (1.2, 1.3, 1.4) and DUAL MEMORY CHANNEL is used, the system rans to slow, jerky sound immersed (can't play any video), the cores show above 60% load all the time, playing games is impossible (system hangs or blue screens appears), takes ages to load win7 Ultimate. I've tried everything, manual setting the timings of the ram, voltage, command rate 2N, nothing works. I've also test the system with 2xKINGSTON KHX1600C9AD3B1/2G ram modules but the same results obtained. I've checked all possible positions in dual channel mode, nothing. When only one module is used (single channel) then everything is ok. All the ram modules passed the memtest and verified for the their good working state.
    The strange thing is that when the BIOS 1.1 version is used everything runs smoothly. BIOS update was perfomed with 2 different ways : 1. MSI windows application and 2. in DOS mode. Also the sound card (if God makes it a soundcard) sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.

    The course of action seems clear. Revert & use 1.1.
    This thread may have some good advice; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=141272.0
    Recommend to open a ticket with MSI Tech Support detailing your findings. They may be able to duplicate everything & address it in an updated bios. For bios flashing, it is highly recommended to use this forum's USB Flasher. You can find it along with instructions in the Download Section of the forum. It is also always recommended to do a 'power cord removed' from PSU clearining of CMOS after a flash.
