System: CentoOS 5.3 (I think), 64-bit
Oracle: 11.2.0.1 EE
Today I tried to apply patch p10098816, which takes 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2, to
one of my servers. I applied it a few months ago to an essentially identical
system with no problems, but this time I was not so lucky. First the Net
Configuration Assistant failed, then the Database Upgrade Assistant also failed.
I let the upgrade finish and attempted to run dbua manually, but was
unsuccessful. With /etc/oratab still configured to use dbhome_1, it says there
is nothing to upgrade. If I manually switch it to dbhome_2, it complains about
not having an spfile to start from. Which is true enough; the only thing in
dbhome_2/dbs is init.ora, so clearly the upgrade did not complete properly.
The errors in the various error logs are:

I could revert back to backups, but as far as I can tell it's running fine
under the original version out of dbhome_1, so I'm leaving the evidence
preserved. :)
I have *no* idea where to begin debugging this. The error is fairly
meaningless to me, and Google has been no help at all.
To answer the obvious question, both systems (the one where it worked and the
one where it didn't) are running exactly the same version of java, so I think
we can rule that out:
-bash-3.2$ yum list | grep java | grep installed
gcc-java.x86_64 4.1.2-48.el5 installed
sun-javadb-client.i386 10.3.1-4.1 installed
sun-javadb-common.i386 10.3.1-4.1 installed
sun-javadb-core.i386 10.3.1-4.1 installed
sun-javadb-demo.i386 10.3.1-4.1 installed
sun-javadb-docs.i386 10.3.1-4.1 installed
sun-javadb-javadoc.i386 10.3.1-4.1 installed
Suggestions?
Thanks!
