Oracle will not start

[rjdscs]

We are running Oracle 8.1.5 on Solaris 2.6. Oracle did not come back after a reboot and manual attempts from within svrmgrl to start the system fail with the following error
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

Any suggestions would be appreciated

from within svrmgrl, try this

connect internal
shutdown abort
startup

I have some more info on this problem. In alert log I get ORA-00600 internal error code arguments [16306] [3221749815]

According to oracle this is due to a known bug in Oracle 8i, bug # 853642, which limits the number of defined network interfaces to 10, with the suggested workround of reducing the number of network interfaces to 10 or less.
This solution does not seem to apply in my case as there are only two network interfaces defined, loopback (lo0) and one ethernet (hme0).

Anyone else encountered this problem?

Thanks

Richard
