Just for you information: oracle8i works fine on current linux (we use debian 5.0). Even on 64bit platform 32bit oracle works, but for that you need a little wrapper to tell linux to use old 3Gb user/kernel memory split (I can show you more details if you want). That all to say: there's no need to run Oracle8i on old (and buggy) system, current linux works. [] > The host is Debian testing (kvm-72). Upgrade to 0.10.5. You can use my packages (http://www.corpit.ru/debian/tls/kvm) if you want. But better just run real system, without any virt stuff. /mjt
