Your call. 256 is a recommended value (it seems to have grown from 128
in 9i). Try the installation and if you have problems then arrange a
kernel change.
You may want to increase the value of the shm_seg attribute if a process
attempts to attach a shared memory region exceeds the limit (the shmat
function returns an EMFILE error).
From the guide - The kernel subsystem attribute values shown in
this section are recommended values only. For production
database systems, Oracle recommends that you tune these
values to optimize the performance of the system.

Subject: kernel parameters in 10gR2
We are upgrading our databases to 10gR2 (10.2.0.3.0) on HP Tru64 Unix.
In the installation instructions, it says to change the kernel parameter
shm_seg to 256. For 9i it was set to 128. I sort of understand why
this might be an issue when a database is created/upgraded, but do I
really have to have this parameter changed to 256 just to install the
software? I've actually done one installation with it set to 128 and
one with it set to 256 (different machines) and neither installation
gave any errors, except for the prerequisite checks.
