Database Initialization Problem in Linux

Question

Hi
This is the first time I am using oracle in linux.Over here we have installed Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 in RedHat linux 9 with a RAM of 512 MB and a hard disk of 80 GB.The problem is that when we start sqlplus as sysdba .I am saying "startup" to initialise the DB ....The process of starting was slow ...and finally I was getting "end-of-file communication" error ...I read somewhere in the Alert Log that we need to give atleast half the RAM size in the shmmax ...I did that and restarted the server ....Now when I follow the same procedure I am getting a different error in the SQL prompt
ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced
in the LOG file I am getting the lines
Errors in file /usr1/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/rdbms/log/tsh1_ora_1140.trc:
ORA-01403: no data found
Error 1403 happened during db open, shutting down database
USER: terminating instance due to error 1403
Instance terminated by USER, pid = 1140
ORA-1092 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE OPEN...
Please help me in this regard ..as this is urgent ...Thanx

Answer 1

There are the latest entries in the file alert_%^$%^.log
I am getting a EINVAL problem here as I reverted back to the original value of my shmmax ...for previous entries where my shmmax was half the size of my 512MB ram I dint get that problem
