[Fwd: 2.6.5 Linux kernels... Problems with Oracle and with vmware]
Hello! I just downloaded and compiled this kernel. Unfortunately, I still run Mandrake 9.2, but problems are not Mandrake specific. 1. I can't run Oracle 9.2.0.4 for AMD64 with SGA larger that 1.7Gb with 2.6 kernel: [oracle@dm oracle]$ sqlplus SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production on Mon Jun 7 15:26:40 2004 Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved. Enter user-name: /as sysdba Connected to an idle instance. SQL> startup ORA-27123: unable to attach to shared memory segment This problem exists with Suse's 2.6.5 and with 2.6.3 from kernel.org. But I can successefully run Oracle with 2.5Gb SGA using 2.4 kernel from Mandrake distribution. Looks like this is generic 2.6 kernel problem 2. I had vmware 4.5.1 works with 2.6.3, but I can't compile modules for 2.6.5: Building the vmmon module. Using 2.6.x kernel build system. make: Entering directory `/root/tmp/vmware-config15/vmmon-only' make -C /lib/modules/2.6.5-0-/build/include/..

Do somebody know how to fix this? Thank you!
