Fedora release 11 (Leonidas) oracle 11g1 stopped working

Oracle 11g1 under Fedora 9 has worked great since 11/2008

I upgraded to Fedora 10 and Oracle 11g1 worked great

I upgraded to Fedora release 11 (Leonidas) and now:

SP2-0042: unknown command "dbstart" - rest of line ignored.

I am looking into changes to PATH that may have been made in the upgrade.

Thought I'd see if anybody else has had this problem first!

Sorry mate but I don't have any experience in oracle db. but I have many years in Fedora.

I just fed up to use Fedora as a real server or client because I have had many problems on it.

Just few of them from the past 1.5 years:

- SCSI support on Adaptec RAID, Apadtec HBA. (Dell perc320 and 29320LP)
It took 2 months to has the proper driver to install it after release FC9!!!
- Fix IP address on FC9 bug.
- Sound mixer bug FC9.

I was not able to install FC10/FC11 on that SCSI HBAs so I fed up to deal with it.
I've used Fedora Since born but I don't want to hunt all the time bugs/patches.


Finally I moved to CentOS as a client and server too.
No bugs(minimal) and rock stable as well as RedHat based distro of course.

Anyway this is just my opinion/experience.

As okcomputer44 pointed out, Fedora is (deliberately) a leading/bleeding edge distro for RH to experiment with and get feedback/testing from users.
Think of it as the alpha/beta version of RHEL/Centos.
For real systems, use RHEL/Centos as suggested.

true but I want to be scared and miserable! (;>)

Got Oracle going again (see link)

SELINUX and pam.d must never clog up the other RH stuff or RH is dead!
