Sorry, I refused to go there, so I never tried to find any of these
"fixes". Just did a patch search, but found nothing. Oracle support
might be able to figure it out. I think it is silly to do these
patches. Backleveling the kernel opens all sorts of security holes.
This does not seem like a reasonable choice and is not reasonable
support from the vendor.
Another interesting note along this path. I was trying to confirm
the 10g cd I had burned was valid, so I ran the 10g installer on my
desktop Mandrake 9.x linux box. I run a 9i db for testing on it. There
are probably workarounds here, but I find it interesting that they would
do this:
[oracle@moria mnt]$ uname -a
Linux moria 2.4.19-36mdk #1 Fri Nov 28 21:15:25 MST 2003 i686 unknown unknown
GNU/Linux
[oracle@moria mnt]$ ./runInstaller
