Install OEL 6.4 on 3TB harddisk

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to install fresh OEL 6.4 (64 bit) over my new 3 TB HDD, (though in BIOS it's showing detected and seeing 3000GB, enabled all required options like onchip SATA Type set it to SATA, EFI CD/DVD Boot Option to EFI) but unable install it as getting stuck on 'waiting for hardware to initialize'
I can see starting screen with Oracle Logo and getting 5 options as below,
1) Install or upgrade an existing system
2) Install system with basic video driver
3) Rescue Installed system
4) Boot from local drive
5) Memory test
If I choose 1st option, then DVD loads bootable files but gets stuck on 'waiting for hardware to initialize' and then blank screen with blinking cursor.
I would like to know how to use parted (as it's more than 2.2 TB) command when HDD is new ? or what is other way out to install OEL on 3TB HDD ?
(I've tried on my laptop, and installation gets start without any issue)
yours help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Manish Nashikkar

The problem is probably your video graphics adapter. I suggest the following:
While the cursor is on option 1 hit the <tab> key then add the parameter " nomodeset" and press <enter> to start the system.
If the above does not work, try option 2.
Note that OEL has changed to Oracle Linux or short OL and is designed for server hardware. Support for Desktop or Laptop computers is limited and requires depends on open source and hardware vendor.

Problem installing OEL 6.1

I downloaded the 32 bit 6.1 iso and the boot iso. Confirmed the download with md5. The Dow pad was to a Winows 7 laptop. I extracted the zips with the Windows extract tool, and burned the files to cd and DVD with Roxio.
I inserted the boot cd into a Vista desktop with the plan of overwriting Vista with OEL 6.1. The install failed the media check. It said some files were corrupted. I burned another cd with the same result. I think the download was good because of md5 check. It is hard to believe I had 2 bad burns.
Is the Windows extract tool good for the extract? Any ideas?

I have successfully installed OEL 6.1. I used my Boot CD, and ignored the Media Test error messages. I put the DVD ISO on a thumb drive. The installation process on the Boot CD asked where the DVD image was, I gave it the thumb ID, and the install went forward successfully. I did down load and use 7zip, but the extract had the same Media Test failure as before. My equipment is getting old, and maybe my BIOS needs updating. The CD and DVD drives are running before the operating system kicked in. Thanks for the suggestions. I think I lucked into the solution this time.

After installing OEL (Free download) Need additional pluggings

I jus installed OEL (Free download) on my laptop for experimental purposes
Now I need additional "pluggings", or software, in order to compile other
applications. Where can I download additional "pluggings" for OEL??

As Paul said CDs should help and it's the best source. On the other hand, you may use the following website to find some RPMs (software packages):
http://freshrpms.net/
You can also try to download and use packages designed for RHEL.
Although OEL is compatible with RHEL, and RHEL could use most packages of Fedora, if you don't use RPM packages designed for your distro, you would have some package dependency problems.

Installing OEL on pavilion dv7 4054CA failing with kernel panic

I am trying to install OEL 4.8 (5.5 gives errors too but not as details as 4.8 )on pavilion dv7 4054CA I7 4-core/8 thread laptop but the installation terminates shortly with kernel panic. I gathered the below errors from the screen:
kernel panic - not syncing
drivers/acpi/ec.c:162
spin_is_locked on unintiialized spinlock
acpi-0352
acpi-1134
acpi-0691 : *** Error: acpi_ev_ype_dispatch
It looks like a CPU issue. My laptop is brand new and works fine and I want to install Linux on it.
So any one can help on this?
Thanks.

Oracle Linux, like all Linux for Enterprise systems, was developed for server hardware and will most likely have trouble to fully support laptops or desktop PC systems. Even if you get the system installed, you may run into trouble with proper support for laptop power management, touchpad, video and wireless support.
A good alternative to run Oracle Linux, or Enterprise Linux on a Laptop is Oracle Virtualbox. It allows you to install multiple common operating systems without the need to repartition your harddrive or jeopardize your primary operating system. Virtualbox is free. More info can be found here http://www.virtualbox.org. If you would like to use Linux as your primary OS or dual-boot, better consider a desktop Linux system like Fedora, Ubuntu or SUSE office desktop - you will be much happier with it. Please note that Oracle Express will easily install and support desktop Linux, but Oracle RDBMS does only support Enterprise Linux versions and will require special attention to get installed on Linux desktops.
In order to start OEL from your computer and work-around the issue you are experiencing, you might try to specify boot parameters, such as acpi=ht or acpi=off

Having a problem installing OEL 6 64Bit using VirtualBox

I tried posting on the Oracle VM forum but noone replied. Trying here.
Anyone have any ideas?
Just installed VirtualBox 4.2 on my 64bit laptop
I then created a new Virtual Machine with a 60Gbyte harddrive
I then used the Settings to assign the OEL 6 .iso file to the Virtual Machine's CD/DVD
I then click the Start button
I get the startup screens for OEL6 so I know the CD/DVD is seen by the Virtual Machine
I click Install or Upgrade existing system
A bunch of stuff is uncompressed as I'm used to seeing
Eventually I get the Test Media screen, I use the Skip button (the first time I tried this, I did verify the .iso so I know it's good)
I click through the Language and Keyboard setting screens
Then I get the Installation Method screen. I click Local CD/DVD as I assume the .iso is in the Virtual Machine's virtual CD/DVD
When I click the OK button, I get the message The Oracle Linux Server disk was not found in any of our CDROM drives.
I'm perplexed. Any help is appreciated.

Are you using the Boot CD to install the software? It will prompt for the installation media because it does not contain the installation packages. I suggest to check what you are using. To boot and install the system from one and the same DVD you need the standard 6.3 Installation DVD or iso image (V33411-01). When you test the CD/DVD media it will be ejected and you need to restart.

Install OEL 5.0 as Guset OS in VM Virtual BOX

Hi,
I am using WIN XP SP3 on my laptop(intel core i3 32 bit,2 GB RAM).
I have installed Oracle VM Virtual Box for XP (version 4.0.6).There i want to use OEL as my guest OS and install Oracle 11g R2.
I have never used any VM s/w prior to that,hence i don not have any idea on this.
* I have configured OEL VM,now my question is do i need the original OEL 5.0 ISO images to be downloaded from e-delivery to insatll OEL in VM virtual box.And also do i need the 11g R2 binaries for OEL 5 to insatll it within VM OEL???
Please refer me some doc on step by step installation of OEL as guest in VM vietual box.i am a newbie to this.I dont have any idea on this. *
Thanks.

Hi,
if you don't have any idea google is you best friend.
Ask the question you posted here to google, and you will find a lot of good sites with information on this.
However, there is also a good guide, to setup a RAC in Virtualbox, which might answer most of your questions:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2RACInstallationOnOEL5UsingVirtualBox.php
(Even if you don't intend to install a RAC the steps, till you install the Oracle Software, are the same...).
BTW: Found this via. google ;)

Glibc error when installing OEL 5.8 packages for 10g install

Hi, I have the following errors occurring when installing the pre-requisite packages for a 10g install. I'm following the instructions on

I'm not sure what to do as the 10g install complains that the glibc package is not installed as a requirement for the db software install.

Should I really have the i686 version installed?
The 5.8 install includes the i686 version and the i386 version. Perhaps only the i386 version should have been installed. Am I right? If so should I remove the i686 version and how?

The install warned that the swap was not lareg enough, I recall something like 2.7GB when I have actually made it 2GB.
And the other things was ....

The instructions I followed say nothing of setting this so high.

Trouble installing OEL 6.1 | Please help

Hi,
I downloaded the boldOEL 6.1 DVD ISO*bold* and booted with it for installation on my home desktop PC. I chose boot from DVD option and I inserted the newly created OEL 6.1 DVD. Following were the problems I encountered with it:
1) With the GUI installation screens, my mouse stopped working. Basically the cursor just stopped working & I had to rely on keyboard shortcuts to click on the button. I use Microsoft Mouse with USB connectivity.
2) To overcome the above problem, I rebooted the PC and landed at the "boot>" prompt. Here I typed bold"linux text"*bold* to choose text based installation. All was well, till it reached the Disk management options (Forgot the name of the option). Here since I had an existing linux, I chose to create partition from the existing linux partition option. Boom! I got a screen full of errors quoting some line numbers related to Python. Anaconda crashed on my face!
I am hopelessly stuck as I can't proceed forward. Please help!
Thanks & Regards,
Prash

Good suggestion! May be that will be my next project! :-)
Anyways, as per your suggestion, I was able to recover my Windows partition. I used OEL 6.1 DVD to boot and updated the boot loader after that. Now after a reboot, I was able to see Grub loader work properly!!
Little I knew the shock that will await me once I rebooted into the Linux. The graphics installer screen came up and shockingly my Mouse froze!! Multiple reboots and I was in same situation. For the first time in all my technological adventures, I was quite literally on the "Bleeding edge"! :-)
Something told me that OEL 5.x may not be as buggy as this. I downloaded the stable OEL 5.6 DVD image and created the DVD. I launched this. Surprisingly, the installer, detected the Chipset details to the dot. My mouse didn't freeze. Installation was breeze and so was the reboot experience! Now here I am with dual boot with OEL 5.6 on one partition and Windows XP on other and they happily co-exist (touch wood! :-))
This experience clearly shows me that OEL 6.x has some component which breaks backward compatibility significantly. Not sure how to log this as a bug against the 6.x development team (or may be I can't because I have not paid for the support).
I want to thank you for all the quick responses you gave me w/o which I would have been grappling in dark!
Thanks again,
Prash

Problems installing OEL version 6 in Virtual Box

I am able to install only in text mode although I tried to install with desktop - X-windows and all. I tried couple of times I get the same result - i.e., text mode.

If you indeed selected all the items from the Desktop Group it should work. Is this a new installation or are you changing an existing installation. In the later case you might want to check /etc/inittab and make sure init level 5 is your initdefault. Are there any clues in /var/log/messages or Xorg.0.log?
Other settings you could check are your Virtualbox machine settings, in particular Video memory and monitor under the Display tab.

Can we install Oracle DATABASE products in OEL 6?????????????

I have a plan to install OEL 6 for Oracle DB 11g & OEMGC in my Server. But I need to make sure all Oracle-validated patches available in OEL 6 & I can install DATABASE & OEMGC in OEL 6 properly....I had seen a mail in OTN which mentioned there is no RPMs available for OEL6 till now....
Please tell me a good Suggestion.

Hi Dude;
Unless Oracle confirms that their product is supported on ext4, I would stay away from it. Perhaps an interesting link regarding performance: http://www.ora600.be/news/oracle-ext4-warning

Can we install Oracle Virtual Machine in OEL-5?

Hi Forum Mates
Can i install Oracle Vm in OEL-5 and install OEL-5 in VM too?
I want practice database concepts like networking,dblinks,cloning etc?
can i install windows 7 in vm and practice migration of database from windows to linux.
my desktop is intel core 2 duo and 4gb ram is it enough?
thank you

Can I install Oracle VM in OEL-5 and install OEL-5 in VM too?Sure.
Can I install windows 7 in VM and practice migration of database from Windows to Linux.Yes, if you have a spare Windows 7 license :)
My desktop is Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM is it enough?Probably not if you want the two VMs running at the same time. Maybe try 8GB.

Installing GC 10.2.0.3 on OEL 5

I am trying to build a OEL box to support Oracle Grid Control; am comfortable as a *nix (HP-UX, Solaris, AIX) user but have never admin'd it, and this is my first time with Linux.
After some initial spinning of wheels and chasing multiple technet and ML docs, I downloaded OEL Rel 5 Updt 4 (x86-64) and GC 10.2.0.3.
I have installed OEL Rel 5 Updt 4 (x86-64) and working through the prereqs for the GC install. First pass identified several required packages that weren't installed. Opened a thread in the Linux forum and also found another thread a few days older than mine with exactly the same problem. The only solution provided there was to install GC 10.2.0.5.
This appears to be a chicken or egg situation:
1) Problem: Can't install 10.2.0.3 because it requires packages not available on the OS
2) Solution: Install GC 10.2.0.5
3) Problem: 10.2.0.5 appears to be only available as a patch to 10.2.0.3
4) Solution: Install 10.2.0.3, then apply patch
5) go to 1)
So how do we get there from here?

I'd suggest that you:
- concentrate on RPM requirements for 10.2.0.5 according to the Metalink docs and release notes;
- reconcile these requirements to one comprehensive list;
- pay close attention to RPMs listed as also requiring 32-bit versions (this was the case for me with libXtst RPM);
- run 10.2.0.3 installer with ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs;
- work through whatever missing RPMs you discover during the install;
- upgrade to 10.2.0.5 with the regular ./runInstaller;
I used this approach to install 10.2.0.5 with existing 10.2.0.4 database on RHEL 5.3 64-bit.
