David,

This error happens because of  a new feature called Huge TLB support, 
which is enabled by default in 2.6 kernels. By default only root has 
permission to allocate shared memory with this option (SHM_HUGETLB) and 
Oracle 10g defaults using it, so Oracle fails to allocate the SGA.

This capability is supposed to be able to controlled with the setcaps 
program (CAP_IPC_LOCK), but I couldn't get it to work properly. I did 
some research - the probable reason: setcap utilities are not supported 
by the particular filesystem.

The solution is either to set DISABLE_HUGETLBFS=1 before you start 
Oracle or to recompile the kernel without CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE and 
CONFIG_HUGETLBFS configuration parameters.

Regards,
Lyubomir Petrov
