Oracle linux install dies

Question

Hi all,
I'm installing Oracle 8.0.5.1 on Redhat 6.1 (with updates from the updater service) and am running into a problem during the intall script. It seems to get most of the way thru the install and then blows up, same place always.
It's when the startup(put SID here).sql file is being run, to be specific:
Error during action ''.
Command: cd /app/oracle/product/8.0.5;
/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/bin/svrmgl <<!
@/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/rdbms/admin/startuporax.sql
I've set all the environment variables in the install notes and am installing as a user called oracle that I created according to the requirements, including their profile.
Potential issues?:
I'm using bash as my shell, don't think that makes any difference? I couldn't find anything about setting ipcs process values in the install notes. When I run ipcs I get an empty list of shared memory segments, semaphore arrays, etc.
Or maybe it's something entirely different. Any clues will be much appreciated.
Please email me at [email protected] if you know anything.
Thanks

More info on this:
The startorax.sql file it's running is:
# this is a test for building a database from existing
# datafiles (users, system, rbs, tools, temp).
#set termout on
#spool build.log
spool /app/oracle/admin/orax/create/crdborax.lst
connect internal
startup nomount pfile=/app/oracle/admin/orax/pfile/initorax_0.ora
create controlfile reuse set database "orax"
datafile
'/foo1/oradata/orax/system01.dbf',
'/foo1/oradata/orax/rbs01.dbf',
'/foo1/oradata/orax/temp01.dbf',
'/foo1/oradata/orax/tools01.dbf',
'/foo1/oradata/orax/users01.dbf'
logfile
'/foo1/oradata/orax/redoorax01.log' size 500k,
'/foo2/oradata/orax/redoorax02.log' size 500k,
'/foo3/oradata/orax/redoorax03.log' size 500k resetlogs;
alter database "orax" open resetlogs;
disconnect
spool off
in the /foo1 directory the first "mount point" it wants it creates:
total 125092
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 15730688 Sep 30 1998 rbs01.dbf
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 83888128 Sep 30 1998 system01.dbf
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 1050624 Sep 30 1998 temp01.dbf
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 26216448 Sep 30 1998 tools01.dbf
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 1050624 Sep 30 1998 users01.dbf
It looks like it is having trouble creating the redo* log files above?
