CRS Installation problem - node out of sync?

Question

Hi at all
I have some installation problems with 10gR2 Rac and CRS on RHEL 4.0 (kernel 2.6.9) and Vmware Workastion 5.0. . Also I have applied suggestion in the vmware KB available at this link
http://kb.vmware.com/vmtnkb/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1420&sliceId=SAL_Public
due some synchronization problems .
Also, I have configured ntpd daemon for sync my virtual machine.
The error message from installActions2006-12-18_01-10-58AM.log is:
INFO: Exclude file list /tmp/OraInstall2006-12-18_01-10-58AM/installExcludeFile.lst does not exist or is empty. The file is ignored.

but if I check clock sync between two nodes....:
[oracle@oracle001 ~]$ date;ssh oracle002 date;
Mon Dec 18 01:39:33 CET 2006
Mon Dec 18 01:39:33 CET 2006
and from the first node
[root@oracle001 crs]# ntpq -p
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
oracle002-priv 10.0.0.1 3 u 30 64 37 0.264 8.075 2003.55
and from the second node:
[root@oracle002 crs]# ntpq -p
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
10.0.0.1 193.204.114.232 2 u 17 64 377 0.652 -30.302 16212.0
[root@oracle002 crs]#
Please, someone can Help me?
Thanks

Your 4MEM error code is indeed reporting to you that some of your RAM is not working properly (MEM = memory, i.e. RAM).
The fix for this (replacing the RAM) is normally covered under warranty for a computer as new as yours is. To get the free warranty repair I believe that you do need to bring your computer to an Apple-certified repair center, however. If you order the RAM and do it yourself, you will need to pay for the RAM and also go through the trouble of opening your computer to access the RAM, which is not that hard to do for some people, others prefer to have a technician do that.
I'd suggest that you have Apple do the RAM fix, if only so that the replacement RAM is covered as well going forward ...
