Regarding OraInventory...make sure your ORACLE_BASE parameter is set to
/oracle/<SID>. Check you /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc file as well...

How'd your inventory get fouled up? The only time I've had problems
with that is with multiple installations trying to write to the same
inventory file (because the /etc/ora<whatever> file wasn't set up
right.... that was back in the 8.1 days though.
I've never been able to clean up fouled OraInventorys... isn't Oracle's
recommendation to re-install if the inventory is hosed? You'd have some
downtime, but you should be able to remove the oracle installation and
re-install the software, then restore your initSID.ora file & come back
up using the existing data files with a nice clean inventory -- no
additional hardware required unless you need it to minimize the outage.
