John, This is a 31-bit box, not a 64-bit box, so no, the guidelines for an AMD-64 Opteron would not be applicable. There does not appear to be a Linux on S/390 specific install guide (at least I haven't been able to find one), so I am making do with the 'generic' Unix install guide.
I have a 3390-3 dedicated to Swap, so I have 2.5G +/- backing my 600M real. So, at the moment, I am not sure what's going on. Also, I have reference to two patches for Oracle 9i for Linux on S390, but working with the Oracle DBA's here, we haven't been able to locate them. They are p3287374_220_LINUX-S390.zip and Oracle-9i-p3501955_9205_LINUX-S390.zip. Per a paper sent to me by another user (thanks John!), it appears that the first patch, p3287374, is a patch to the Oracle Universal Installer. I don't know if that may be related to the problem. Anyone know where I might be able to find the patches? So far, we have come up empty searching the Oracle Patch site(s). Thanks, Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

I reiterate, a segfault is always a bug, it should never happen just for lack of memory. Don't confuse real memory with virtual. You can add swap way beyond your real memory, and there's no particular reason you can't back you 600 Mbytes or so of real memory with 2 Gbytes and more of swap. Performance may suffer, but that's another issue. FWIW, what does Oracle say are the requirements? Since there's no VM involved, I guess the guidelines for AMD-64 (Opterons) would be the ones to follow. > Thanks, > Dave > > > Dave Stuart > Prin. Info.
