OEM DB control slightly broken after 10.2 fresh install

Question

People,
I just installed 10.2.0.2 on Solaris x86 using instructions I found here:
http://bikle.com/protected/o10gR2_solaris10x86
Everything seems to work okay except for some small areas inside of EM database control.
For example, in the first page of the Home tab I see a Java null pointer exception.
After a minute, the page changes shape and gives information about:
DB Instance
Listener
General
Agent Connection to Instance
It says :
the DB Instance is down
the Agent Connection to Instance is down
the Listener is up
General is up
Here are some details I see about
the Agent Connection to Instance
Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12505: TNS:listener does
not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor (DBD ERROR:
OCIServerAttach).
In the performance tab,
I see this:
java.lang.Exception: Invalid BoundDataSource: no class, method or dataSource provided.
at oracle.sysman.emSDK.chart.EmChartBoundDataSourceBean.initDataSource(EmChartBoundDataSourceBean.java:97)
Aside from this,
parts of EM work just fine.
In the Administration tab,
I can do things like query data files.
In the Maintenance tab,
I was able to do an Object Level Recovery of a row
which I had deleted from a table.
Can you give me any tips on how to get EM fully functional?

Well,
I found a configuration file which appears to have the tns alias in it:
bash sol oracle ~/product/10r2/sol_orcl/sysman/config 38 $ grep orcl emoms.properties
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepDBName=orcl
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepSID=orcl
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepConnectDescriptor=(DESCRIPTION\=(ADDRESS_LIST\=(ADDRESS\=(PROTOCOL\=TCP)(HOST\=sol)(PORT\=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA\=(SERVICE_NAME\=orcl)))

bash sol oracle ~/product/10r2/sol_orcl/sysman/config 39 $
bash sol oracle ~/product/10r2/sol_orcl/sysman/config 39 $
I checked the listener:

bash sol oracle ~/product/10r2/sol_orcl/sysman/config 39 $ lsnrctl serv

I tested connectivity via sqlplus:

I'm stumped,
usually ORA-12505
is easy to troubleshoot.
