Oracle 9i Linux installation cpio problem

While using cpio to unpack the 9i installation files for Linux I get "cpio: premature end of file" This only happens on the first file "lnx_920_disk1.cpio". The other files unpack fine.
I am using the following:
- Redhat 7.3 kernel 2.4.18-24.7
- GNU cpio version 2.4.2
- "Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard Edition for Linux" from http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/content.html
I have scoured the internet and found the following suggestions (none of them work):
cpio -icdcmv < lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -idmv < lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -idcmv <lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -icdcmvB <lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -idmv -I lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -idmv -H new < clnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -idmv -H odc < lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -idmv -H crc < lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cat lnx_920_disk1.cpio | cpio -idvm
I have tried all the -H formats!
What is going on? Why is this only a problem in the first archive file "lnx_920_disk1.cpio"? Even just listing the files out using cpio does not help.
A great many people seem to be having this problem.
-Brent

When you have the cpio.gz files you must first unzip each of them.
I.e. for each file run "gzip -d <file name>.cpio.gz and when it's finished run "cat <file name>.cpio | cpio -icd" (or "cat <file name>.cpio | cpio -id").
Hope this helps

Installing Oracle 9iR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux

Hi.
Has anyone had success in installing oracle 9iR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux release 5? I found some sites such as http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml
and http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/files/oracle9r2installonrh9.txt. I followed these but since they are not specific to oracle enterprise linux installs, i think there is stuff missing. I loaded all the libraries they reccommended, but when i run the installer, i get Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle.sysman.oii.oiic.OiicInstaller at java.lang.Class.initializeClass(libgcj.so.7rh)
caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.ewt.lwAWT.BufferedFrame not found in gnu.gcj.runtime.SystemClassLoader
Can someone assist?

That's right. OEL5 has to be verified against the supported versions and workarounds and or patches will be released by Oracle so these issues can be solved. In the mean time, OEL4 has to be used.

Yast installation problem on Oracle Enterprise Linux Rel 5 Upd 2

Hi,
I installed Oracle Enterprise Linux Rel 5 Upd 2 on a new server (Intel 64 bit) with the downloads from oracle
(Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-x86_64-disc1.iso till Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-x86_64-disc6.iso).
Then I wanted to install Yast for administering my machine and downloaded yast_el5_x86_64.tar, again from Oracle. Running the Yast install routine it required the perl-Digest-SHA package. I downloaded that from Oracle ULN and installed it.
Now, running the Yast install routine again, I get a bunch of warnings and errors about failed dependencies and NOKEY's.
Here I copied a part of it:

What's wrong here and what is to do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Roger

hello support,
i've installation problems with oracle 11g R2 on oracle enterprise linux 5 update 5. In the section "ORACLE Net-Konfigurationsassisten" the failure "[INS-20802] Oracle NET-Konfigurationsassistent not success". What's wrong? I've followed the instructions on http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/smiley-11gr1-install.html
I've heard the problem can occur with problems in /etc/hosts? My /etc/hosts is configured:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1          oracle localhost.localdomain localhost
::1          localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
is this ok? what can I do to bring the database-installation to success?
Thank's for help ;-)

I'm facing the same error message while install Siebel 8.0 on OEL. But before I had this ksh problem, it complains about disc space first, and I actually has plenty of disk space under the directory (it needs only 0.7 G and I have 17G free). Anybody has encountered such problem before?

Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 Installation Fails during Disk Partitioning

Hi,
I've tried to install Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 by creating a Virtual Machine using Oracle VM Virtual Box in my laptop with Window XP host OS (NTFS filesystem), by following the below steps.
1) Installed Oracle VM Virtual Box
2) Created a new Virtual machine using a virtual box by specifying the two .iso images i.e OracleLinux-R6-U1-Server-i386-dvd.iso and boot.iso as the boot device and by specifying the following Disk files (.vdi) as follows.
2.1) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Root_Disk_1.vdi - For the / (i.e Root) partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
2.2) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Swap_Disk_1.vdi - For the swap partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - swap
2.3) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_User_Disk_1.vdi - For the /usr partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 20 GB - ext4
2.4) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Home_Disk_1.vdi - For the /home partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
But while installing OEL 6.1 after specifying the partitions, the installer get hung and throws an error as bug while creating the ext4 filesystem on /dev/sda1.
I tried to specify the default 8 GB for all the above four partitions, the installer successfully continues without any issues. But if i specify any partition more than 8 GB, it fails.
Is there anyway I can solve this problem by creating the above specified partitions with the above size ? Why does it fail if i specify any size more than 8 GB ?
Thanks
Harish

8 GB is a common limit for systems were the boot loader or system BIOS imposes an addressable space limit for the boot partition. In such situations, the system boot partition has to fit within the first 8 GB physical boundary of the harddrive.
Your setup seems a bit unusual. Why do you create separate disks for each Linux partition?
Normally the Linux installer creates necessary partitions on the disk, including a /boot partition that is usually only 100 MB in size.
What are you doing with boot.iso? You should be able to start the system from the main installation DVD or .iso image. You might also want to install x86_64 Linux, unless your hardware is really very old and does not support the 64-bit extension. You can run 32-bit software on a n 64-bit OS, but not the other way around and you will limit your software to 32-bit only.

Problems Installing Designer 6.0 over Oracle 8i (Linux SUSE 8.0)

I have problems installing Designer 6.0 over Oracle 8i (Linux SUSE 8.0). When I try to create the repository the installation hang up. I try over Oracle 8i (WIndows 2000) and the problems remain.
Please any body can help?
Is it possible to install Designer 6i and generate forms 6.0 (I mean for using Developer 6.0 (NOT 6i))?
Best regards,
JAGC

Marcel,
I had the same problem. Oracle gives as an answer that Designer 6.0 is not supported against 8.1.7. In the specified package a statement is issued which is a problem for 8.1.7. I changed that package and now it works fine.
Comment as below and replace with the delete statement, then it compiles fines.
I don't know if any problem can occur after that, but a Migration from a 1.3.2 repository to 6i works fine through this repository. Hope this helps.
Kind Regards

-- Oracle Unbreakable Linux hangs during installation --

Hi
I am trying to install the new Oracle Unbreakable Linux on a 2 CPU Intel Pentium 4 64 bits server. During the first CD installation it hangs just after you select if you want to install using the graphical mode or the character base mode (it hangs in both modes).The point where it fails is
mounting /tmp as ramfs....... done
running install...
running /sbin/loader
Has anybody experience the same behavior or do you have any suggestions?
This error does not happen when I try to install either SUSE 9 or 10 nor Red Hat 3 or 4,
so I do not think is the hardware.
Any help will be appreciated.

Ok. New update. I had rejiggered my desktop hard-drives and the DVD drive and in the process had not set the proper Master / Slave settings on the DVD drive. After I fixed that, it did start installing.
I selected the Server configuration and later selected the "Install everything" option. It failed after about 30 minutes while installing the snmp package. It said that it was a serious error due to media error or no disk space. Both of which seemed improbable because the media test resulted fine and I had 160 GB of Hard disk space !. I had to abandon ( well no choice actually ) and restart. This time I chose the Workstation configuration and just added the scientific packages. This time it installed ok, but, new problem.
I do not see ANY applications at all in the Applications drop down menu. Not even as root.
Hmmm. I would hate to start digging around in gnome. It is a distraction from what I really intend to do. To start developing applications on 10g on Linux ! Damn.
Any advise ?

"No device drivers" problem during Enterprise Linux installation

I want to try and see Oracle Enterprise Linux, so I downloaded prepared for the setup. This is a home pc, I use windows upto now and this is the first time I tried to install Linux on this one, here is my configuration;
Mainboard : Gigabyte m61vme-s2 s940
Cpu : AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1,8Ghz
Hd : Samsung 80Gb 72000 rpm 8Mb Sata (2 disks)
When the installer starts first this message box comes;
- WARNING -
No hard drivers have been found. You probably need to manually choose device drivers for the installation to succeed.
Then I continue and;
- DEVICES -
No deivce drivers have been loaded for your system. (Add Device) button
when I click this button a list comes;
- SELECT DEVICE DRIVER TO LOAD -
Please select the driver below which you wish to load. If it does not appear and you have driver disk press F2.
here I both tries to continue with F2 or choose some of the items which I thought may be ok to continue but each time the anaconda installation failed at the Automatic Partitioning step with this message;
- NO DRIVERS FOUND -
An error has occured - No valid devices were found on which to create new file systems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem.
I can use these disks with windows, but still if any hardware problems I do have how can I get detail troubleshooting information? Any links for resources like how to guides will be great.
Thank you,
Best regards.

I recently (two weeks ago) did a complete rebuild on a AMD 64 system similiar to your configuration with CentOS 4.3 (a RedHat ES clone) and had no problem with the SATA (only) drive being picked up by the OS installer. I remember originaly (a year ago) having to carefully set the MB BIOS to go to this bus first to look for boot drives and NOT look to the IDE bus at all. I will review my system install docs when I get home later...

Problem Oracle 10g database Installation on Windows 2003 Server

Hi All,
I am trying to face some problem to install oracle 10g database on windows 2003 server with service pack 2. Once I start to installation it give me an error "Error in writing to directory 'c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\orainstall2004xxx'. Please ensure that this directory is writable and has at least 45MB of disk space. Installation cannot continue"
I double-insured that there is enough disk-space and I am also in the Administrators-Group.
Please guide me for the above problem although I have done oracle 9i database installation with the same configuration.
Regards
Muhammad Shoaib
