Personal suggestion would be to try a supported combination to verify that this is indeed a bug. You can get 'supported' versions from Oracle or CentOs to try it out.
If I remember correctly, the kernel memory reporting structures was one area that changed between 2.6.18 and 2.6.32. That could account for the challenge.

I've installed then 10205 patchset and I'm trying create a new database now with dbca. The problem that I'm seeing is that in the memory section, I'm putting 40% of percentage, it shows correctly total physical memory (64424MB), but when I access to "show memory distribution", it shows that will use 8008 as total memory for Oracle ... 1536MB SGA, 6432MB PGA and oracle process size 40MB. What's happening? 40% of 64GB isn't 8GB .. Thanks beforehand. Cheers... -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
