I changed the kernel semaphores and ip local port range as usual in /etc/sysctl.conf for an Oracle 11g install, and what happened?

boom, headshot!

kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000

What a pain in the butt…

1. reboot from a livecd

2. mount LABEL=/ /mnt

3. vi /mnt/etc/sysctl.conf

4. comment out the changes, :wq

5. init 6
